PSL 2024: Match 10, LAH vs KAR Match Prediction – Who will win today’s PSL match between LAH vs KAR?

Preview

Lahore Qalandars (LAH) and Karachi Kings (KAR) square off in match 10 of the PSL 2024 at the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore on Saturday, February 24.

It has been a forgettable start to the campaign for the defending champions, Lahore Qalandars. They have lost all three of their matches and will be desperate to get their first win of the season. The three losses for them have come against Islamabad United, Quetta Gladiators, and Multan Sultans. Shaheen Afridi and Co. batter first in all the three games and posted decent totals. However, their opponents registered comfortable victories.

Meanwhile, Karachi Kings started with a demoralising 55-run loss in their opening game before bouncing back with a comprehensive seven-wicket win against Peshawar Zalmi. Shan Masood's men will have got the taste of victory in PSL 2024 and would want to capitalise on the misfiring Lahore side.

Probable Best Bowler of the match

The experienced Hasan Ali could be vital for Karachi's chances against the Qalandars. The right-arm pacer bounced back with a three-for against Peshawar Zalmi after going wicketless in Karachi's opening encounter against Multan Sultans. Hasan's performance at the death is going to be very crucial against a power-packed middle and lower order of the Qalandars.
