Karachi Kings are developing a reputation as the also-rans of the Pakistan Super League. Despite boasting a seemingly strong squad, the Imad Wasim-led side are looking to turn the tables on four seasons of underwhelming performances, in which they’ve qualified for the play-offs every time, but never made it to the final.
Ahead of PSL 2020, here’s the Karachi Kings team preview, as we break down how the defending champions are shaping up ahead of the tournament.
The closest they came was in 2018 when they finished second on the points table, but couldn’t take either of the two chances they had to qualify for the showpiece event. Not even having Babar Azam, the No.1 ranked batsman in T20I cricket, in their ranks has been able to propel them to greater heights. Could 2020 be the year they finally reach the final, or even take home the trophy?
Chris Jordan: In the bowling department, it’s hard to look past Jordan as the biggest asset for the Karachi outfit. With his varied bag of slower balls and unerringly accurate yorkers, he makes it very challenging for batsmen to hit out at the death. He also has the pace to make an impact up front as well if called upon to bowl with the new ball.
Karachi Kings PSL 2020 prediction
Runners up: There is every reason to believe that Karachi Kings will make further improvements this season. With a strong top-order, a varied bowling attack, and a potentially potent middle order, if they click they will be hard to stop. A place in the final beckons.
