Islamabad United won the toss and have decided to bowl first against the Karachi Kings in the ongoing Pakistan Super League (PSL) season 10 match.
Islamabad United remain the only undefeated team in PSL 10, currently topping the league table with three impressive victories. The defending champions are in excellent form and high spirits as they aim to extend their winning streak.
Meanwhile, Karachi Kings have experienced a mixed start to their campaign — beginning with a win, faltering in their second match, and then staging a strong comeback with a dominant victory over the Quetta Gladiators.
Islamabad has historically held the upper hand in this rivalry, having won the last five encounters between the two sides. Karachi Kings, playing in front of their home crowd, will be determined to break this trend and turn the tide in their favor.
