KARACHI, Pakistan: Karachi Kings won the toss and elected to bowl first against Multan Sultans in the third match of the Pakistan Super League (PSL) season 10 at the National Stadium in Karachi on Saturday. The match is the second of Saturday’s doubleheader.

The Kings, led by David Warner, are looking to bounce back after a tough run in the last three seasons, where they failed to secure a playoff spot, finishing fifth in the six-team points table last year.

On the other hand, Multan Sultans are once again one of the tournament’s most consistent teams.

With four final appearances, including a win in 2021, the Sultans are expected to pose a formidable challenge.

Last season, despite topping the group stage, they fell short in the final.

The pitch at the National Stadium in Karachi is generally known for being favourable to batsmen, offering good runs for those who can capitalise on the conditions.

The highest T20I total at the venue is 221, set by England against Pakistan in 2022.
