Karachi, Pakistan's largest and most populous city, presents an interesting and colourful combination of the old and new. The National Stadium became Karachi's fifth and Pakistan's 11th first-class ground. The inaugural first-class match was played at NSK between Pakistan and India on April 21-24, 1955, and it became a fortress of Pakistan cricket. In 34 Tests between that first match and December 2000, Pakistan won 17 and were never beaten. Their only Test defeat on the ground came in the gloom against England in 2000-01. Since then, major terrorist activity, mainly bombings, have meant that non Asian sides have refused to play in the city, and in five years only Bangladesh and Sri Lanka have visited. It is a shame because the spectators are passionate - and noisy - and it is a great place to play and watch.
The first ODI at the National Stadium was against West Indies on November 21, 1980, and it went down to the last ball as Gordon Greenidge drove Imran imperiously to the cover boundary with three needed. It has been a far less successful limited-overs venue, with defeats outnumbering victories. In fact, in a little under five years from the start of 1996, Pakistan failed to win on the ground. It also staged a quarter-final match in the 1996-97 World Cup.
Karachi Kings vs Quetta Gladiators Match Prediction, PSL 2020
Quetta Gladiators must beat Karachi Kings in the final group game of the 2020 Pakistan Super League or they will be eliminated. The match takes place at the National Stadium, Karachi, on March 15 and the live action is scheduled to start at 19:00 local time.
The defending champions go into the final day of fixtures sat bottom of the pile, having won just three of their eight completed games. They have lost Jason Roy and Tymal Mills too, with the English duo returning home in order due to coronavirus fears. The Gladiators’ last completed game saw them post just 98/9 from their 20 overs against Lahore Qalandars too.
Karachi Kings, on the other hand, are guaranteed to finish second no matter what happens on the final day of round robin action. They have got back to winning ways with a ten-wicket win against Lahore and their four-wicket triumph against Islamabad last time out.

Toss Prediction

Weather Report
Conditions in Karachi should be excellent, though the humidity will rise later in the evening.
Pitch Condition
Karachi tends to produce a balanced wicket but it was difficult to score off last time.

Karachi Kings, meanwhile, have already secured their semi-final place and are guaranteed to finish second, but will want to build on their recent winning form.
Quetta's most recent match - after their game against Multan was washed out - was against Lahore, when they struggled to just 98/9 from 20 overs.
Karachi Kings vs Islamabad United Match Prediction, PSL 2020
Islamabad United must beat Karachi Kings in their final game of the 2020 Pakistan Super League or they will be eliminated. The match takes place at the National Stadium, Karachi, on March 14 and the live action is scheduled to start at 19:00 local time.
Islamabad United have not played since a rain-affected defeat to Multan Sultans, in which the posted 91/7 from their nine overs but lost by nine wickets. They are in the bottom two ahead of what will be their final group game and know even a win may not be enough to reach the play-offs. Defeat will definitely end their chances of a top-four spot, however.
Karachi Kings, on the other hand, have two matches left and a storming ten-wicket win against Lahore Qalandars last time out – after Sharjeel Khan (74*) and Babar Azam (69*) shared an unbroken 151-run opening partnership – sealed victory. This match, as with all remaining PSL fixtures, will be played behind closed doors.
Multan Sultans vs Peshawar Zalmi Match Prediction, PSL 2020
Table-topping Multan Sultans stand between Peshawar Zalmi and a guaranteed play-off place when they meet in the Pakistan Super League. The match is scheduled to take place at Karachi’s National Stadium on March 13 and the live action is scheduled to start at 20:00 local time.
The Sultans’ last match was washed out, but they still sit top of the table with just one defeat so far – they are three points clear of Zalmi with an extra game to play too, and thrashed them when they last met thanks to Sohail Tanvir’s bowling.
Peshawar Zalmi, on the other hand, need a win to seal a play-off place. Defeat to Lahore Qalandars last time out – when they failed to defend 187/7 – has opened things up at the bottom of the table and a further defeat in their this match, their final group game, will leave them reliant on other results going their way.

Toss Prediction
Peshawar Zalmi have lost the toss in three of their last four matches and been asked to bat first on each occasion. They may prefer to field first if they get the chance.
Weather Report
There is no chance of any rain interruptions this time, Multan Sultans will be pleased to hear, with conditions set to be dry, clear and sunny all day.
Pitch Condition
Karachi’s National Stadium has served up some well-balanced wickets so far with a good pace to the pitch.
The Sultans sit three points clear of Zalmi at the top of the table, having lost just one of their six completed matches so far.
Zalmi missed the chance to seal their play-off spot last time out, losing to Lahore Qalandars, and defeat in this match - their final group game - will leave them nervously waiting on other results.
Peshawar Zalmi need to beat league leaders Multan Sultans to secure their Pakistan Premier League play-off place.
Karachi Kings vs Lahore Qalandars Match Prediction, PSL 2020
Lahore Qalandars are targeting a fourth consecutive win in the 2020 Pakistan Super League, which would lift them to second place in the table. They take on Karachi Kings, who they beat last week, at the National Stadium, Karachi, on March 12 and the live action starts at 19:00 local time.
Lahore chased 188 thanks to Ben Dunk’s 99* from 40 balls when these teams last met, while Fakhar Zaman (63) and Chris Lynn (59) starred last time out as they again chased 188 – this time to beat Peshawar Zalmi by five wickets.
Karachi Kings, meanwhile, have Alex Hales in good batting form – and he scored 80* from 48 balls when these teams last met – but the Kings have now won three and lost three this season and sit one place below the Qalandars.
