KRK vs ISU
Winning Prediction
Despite occupying fourth and fifth place, these teams have ample opportunity to climb the table during the group stage. However, in order to do this, Islamabad United must turn close defeats into victories. We believe that they will suffer another setback when they face the in-form Karachi Kings. Karachi have a well-rounded squad, with both batsmen and bowlers in good form .
We are backing Karachi Kings to win this match.
