Who will win the QUE vs KAR Dream11 PSL 2022 contest?
Interesting game to predict. While Gladiators have showcased greater form than Karachi in the tournament, the two teams are out of the playoffs race and are entering this fixture with contrasting fortunes in their last match. The Kings pulled off a victory in their match against Qalandars but Gladiators suffered a heavy defeat to Sultans. The Kings may just have an edge in this one.
Babar Azam (10.5 credits): Babar is back among the most famous captaincy picks after his encouraging and crucial knock of 39 off 32 deliveries in Kings’ win over Qalandars in what was a low-scoring fixture.
Jason Roy (9.5 credits): Roy has been a fruitful captaincy pick in PSL 2022, having smashed 221 runs from his five innings for Gladiators with a strike-rate of 193.85.
Umar Akmal (9 credits): Akmal was Gladiators’ stand-out performer with the bat in their heavy loss to Sultans. The right-hander struck a fifty off just 23 deliveries, including 2 fours and 6 sixes.
Mir Hamza (8 credits): Hamza was the star with the ball in Kings’ rare victory, taking 4 for 27 off his 4 overs to help them defend a total of 149 versus an in-form Qalandars batting unit.
Chris Jordan (8.5 credits): In the same fixture, England pacer Jordan also played his part superbly for Kings, ending with figures of 2 for 23 off his 4 overs.
Lewis Gregory (8.5 credits): Making a quiet but important contribution with the bat, Gregory scored a critical 28 off 16 deliveries to allow Kings to inch closer to the 150-run mark.
R Nazir (wk), Umar Akmal (vc), Jason Roy (c), Babar Azam, Lewis Gregory, Imad Wasim, Q Akram, Chris Jordan, Mir Hamza, M Irfan, Naseem Shah
