Last game for National Stadium Karachi at the HBL PSL V

Today is going to be one of those days when National Stadium of Karachi is going to host one last time for this season of the #HBLPSL 5. I personally didn't want it that way but being an optimistic person, there's PSL 6 when we can finally host more games at National Stadium Karachi.

Quetta Gladiators v Karachi Kings at Karachi

Definitely now under the current revised itinerary after rejig, the last game of PSL this season for National Stadium Karachi. Karachi Kings on one hand would want to start the semifinal on high and therefore would require a win. Quetta Gladiators on the other hand would like to be the dark horse and spoil the statistics game for Karachi Kings and definitely would want to score (if they bat first) and beating Karachi by margin of 100+ score (which is definitely a difficult task) only when there are slight chance Quetta could qualify by swapping places with Pdshawar but that is too difficult because under that scenario, game would be on NRR and situation is not good for Quetta because of two obstacles, one is obviously the NRR and second is number 7, under the scenario, Quetta and Peshawar are supposedly on 9 points each, so first Gladiators would have to first win and after that winning comprehensively with overs (not over) to spare or otherwise reducing Karachi under 100 runs mark. This is the only possible scenario where Quetta could swap places with Peshawar in the fifth season of the HBL PSL. 

Hypothetically speaking

If Lahore Qalandars chase the target inside 10 overs mark, it's give them a head-start in HBL PSL group standings, although they are short on points but their NRR would be a crucial aspect in the deciding the qualifying teams for the Eliminators, which is definitely going to be something eveery franchise owner and its think-tank would be eying on definitely.

Clash of two Qalandars' - Quetta and Lahore Qalandars

Today's the clash between two Qalandars in the contest, Quetta and Lahore where the last time where these two sides met, the fortune went towards the initial Qalandars i.e. the Lahore Qalandars but Quetta too not far behind.

Jokes apart

This game is literally a serious concern for both the teams because both teams are lying on the bottom of the table therefore both teams would want to have upper hand on each other.

Head-to-head

Both teams have played a total of 9 matches where the margin of difference between both teams' are of one game, i.e. Lahore with 4 games whereas Quetta with 5. Therefore incentive for both teams as Lahore would want an equalizer against Quetta whereas Quetta would want to have another win under their belt.
