KAR vs PES: Probable Best Performers of the Match

Probable Best Batter: Babar Azam

Babar Azam has been in staggering form this season in the PSL. The former Pakistan captain has amassed 401 runs in seven innings at a mind-boggling average of 100.25. His strike rate is also a decent 143.72. The right-handed batter is coming off a blistering century in the last game against the Quetta Gladiators and would want to continue in the same vein on Wednesday.

Probable Best Bowler: Sufiyan Muqeem

Sufiyan Muqeem has been having a dream of a campaign this season. In seven matches, the left-arm wrist spinner has taken 17 wickets at an average of 11.06. He also has a fine economy rate of 6.71. Karachi Kings’ batters will have to be wary of the threat he poses.
