Today’s Cricket Match Prediction

Strength: The strength of Lahore Qalandars lies in their batting department. Even after the departure of Chris Lynn, the team consists of Sohail Akhtar, Fakhar Zaman, and Mohammad Hafeez, all of whom have crossed the total of 300 runs in the tournament. The team also has a bunch of useful all-rounders in the form of David Wiese and Samit Patel, who can change the complexion of any game at any moment. The bowling, especially Shaheed Afridi, is another strength that can take them to victory. On the other hand, Karachi Kings have Babar Azam in their side, and he alone can be counted as strength for the side. The availability of Imad Wasim and Cameron Delport provides the team with some useful all-round options.

Weaknesses: The biggest weakness for Lahore Qalandars lies in explosive batsmen up top The team has a lot of useful batsmen who have scored more than 200 runs in the tournament, and they are missing that one explosive batsman at the top who can accelerate at will. The lack of good bowling partner for Shaheen Afridi is also a significant cause of concern for the team and could be the make or break in the match. Karachi Kings, on the other hand, look a different team since the departure of Alex Hales. The Kings lack a match-winner batsman other than Babar Azam in their side. The wicket-taking options are also scarce, and no one other than Mohammad Amir has scalps in double digits at the moment.

LAH vs KAR Dream 11

The fantasy cricket time could be a tricky one for this game. Karachi Kings, even though the favorite in this game, looks an inferior side on the papers. Babar Azam, who has 345 runs in 10 games, should make a place for himself along with the experienced Mohammad Amir and Imad Wasim. Chadwick Walton can be chosen as the fourth essential player for the side. On the other hand, Mohammad Hafiz, Shaheen Afridi, Ben Dunk, and David Wiese should be selected on the Dream11 side. Haris Rauf has proved highly inefficient throughout the tournament, but he portrayed his performance in Big Bash League and could be chosen as a wild card option in Dream11 side.
