Pak T20 League 2021: Islamabad vs Karachi, Match Prediction, Playing XI, Fantasy picks 

Islamabad and Karachi will fight out in this week's only encounter in Pak T20 Cricket League 2021. The tournament is in its final week and after this week, we will get our top-four sides. Table-toppers, Islamabad would look to seal the playoffs tonight, and Karachi will look to find a confidence-boosting win after a disappointing defeat to Multan.

Islamabad won their second game in a row and they are entering as the top side in points-table. They made a start with a last-over defeat to Lahore and later, won two back-to-back games. Islamabad made a good comeback after losing 5 wickets on just 20 while batting first. Iftikhar Ahmed and Asif Ali put a 123-run stand for the 6th wicket to set a total of 152. Asif Ali scored 75 off 43 and Iftikhar contributed 49. They picked Lahore's last 8 wickets in the span of 38 runs and bowled them out on 124.

On the other hand, Karachi are coming off a disappointing defeat and we saw how Babar remained not out but failed to find a win. Multan posted 176 and Karachi scored only 31 in powerplay while chasing. Babar scored his 2nd slowest fifty in Pak T20 Cricket League. It will be their first game after 3 days and they will play four more games this week. Karachi now have 6 points from 6 matches and they will look to find two more points to strengthen their chances for playoffs.

Pitch Behaviour

Abu Dhabi's track is a fine T20 track and delivers a good amount of exciting cricket for fans. After consecutive games on the same pitch, it might favour the bowlers more. Chasing would not be so easy now so batting first would be great after winning the toss.
