Preview
Peshawar Zalmi and Karachi Kings occupy the bottom two spots in the PSL 2022 pointe table, such has been their start to this tournament. While Zalmis have managed a win in three games, Babar Azam's Kings are yet to open their account in PSL 7. Nothing seems to be working for them. In one game there are batting collapses while runs are being leaked in other games. Meanwhile, Zalmi have lost momentum after a winning start. Both teams will be eager for a win when they meet on Friday at the National Stadium in Karachi.

Babar Azam and Sharjeel Khan have provided a quick start to Karachi and remain good choices. Mohammad Nabi can find his rhythm anytime, so he also gets a place.
