Memories of previous season final is surely going
to be afresh on both teams' back-of-the-mind
Clash of previous season finalists at the same venue
to be afresh on both teams' back-of-the-mind
It was merely some months ago when Karachi Kings was crowned champions of HBL PSL 5 on the same venue on November 17th, 2020, against the same opponent whom they are going to face today.
A great opportunity for both of the teams
It is a great opportunity for both of the teams to get their multiple statistics get get improved under the evening's game
1. Scores Settled
 |
| Head-to-Head KK leads LQ by 7 games to 4. |
Like I mentioned above, It is best chance for LQ to get their scores settled against their finalist from
previous season, furthermore it is best chance for them to have their Head-to-Head record against Karachi, since Karachi is leading against LQ with 7 to 4, hence if LQ wins today's encounter, it would reduce the deficit of 3 games in to 2 games, because I personally feel odds are supporting LQ, as pitches at Karachi have been dependent on winning the toss and bowling first, none can forget Karachi Kings v Islamabad United game where latter was able to chase down touching 200 target with balls to spare, hence it is a great chance for LQ to get their multiple scores settled under the umbrella of today's encounter.
2. Par Score at Karachi in Season-6
 |
| The maximum score at Karachi have been 190+ |
This is something which is surely going to haunt Karachi Kings, because the par score at Karachi during season-6 have been first win the toss, field first and chase the target, because franchises instead of researching what is the par score at NSK, they have opted for going-with-the-winds approach, hence it is a great opportunity for LQ because they have a good record of chasing down scores above 190+ against KK, and if previous 10 games of the season are to be taken note of, whoever wins the toss and bowling first is surely going to have the last laugh, furthermore spanking of IU was not long ago where KK was not able to defend score excess of 190, hence odds are favoring LQ more than KK. For KK, it is just like a gamble, to win the toss and field otherwise bat thoughtfully and score something around 230 and than play the game of Required-Run-Rate-Pressure tactics, because anything above 200 means chasing team has to start from 10 RRPO and even a single dot ball is going to add at least 0.15+10, hence the scoreboard pressure will going to play a larger part than, otherwise under 200 target is surely going to be under par scores at least till Karachi-leg of PSL 6.
3. Average Runs Scored against Each Other
 |
| Overall Average Runs scored between both teams |
But this score is surely going to get settled under tonight's game, because last night game has shattered the record, where IU scored 118 and PZ was able to chase down the target with ease, hence this statistic is surely going to be improved after today's game, surely. Because I referenced last night game between IU and PZ, and whole world saw, how at ease PZ was able to chase down IU target, hence par score at Karachi is void of these score (at the right hand side) and still these are going to change after tonight's encounter.
Under the scenario at NSK
Bat First
And score something excess 220, and play the scoreboard pressure game, because like I mentioned above, anything excess 200 is going to give target of 10 RRPO and every single dot ball is surely going to add at least 0.15 to RRPO hence one single good over is enough to win the game
Bat Second
Like the current scenario being implemented in Karachi, win the toss, field first and chase down the target as think tanks of current franchise owners have sans thought process of what is current par score under placid tracks of NSK, hence most of the FO (franchise owners) have opted for play safe approach of having a target in mind, but it is creating a scenario of monotony, because every team playing second able to chase down scores touching 200s with ease, is something regular during first half of Karachi Leg of PSL.
