ABOUT THE MATCH
Lahore Qalandars won the five out of four matches, including the nine-wicket win over Multan Sultans in the last time out. In contrast, Karachi Kings lost their previous game against Quetta Gladiators by five wickets.
The second semi-final match will be played at Gaddafi Stadium – Lahore, Pakistan, on 17th March.
TOSS PREDICTION
The side that wins the toss is expected to bat first on this track and set a big target to the scoreboard, and they put pressure on the opponents. With the stress and hype of a knockout game, no team would want to chase a target close to 200 runs.
PITCH AND CONDITIONS
The Gaddafi Stadium has seen plenty of runs scored in this year’s Pakistan Super League. 180+ has been achieved here on ten occasions, which shows how good the pitch has been for batting. Expect another high-scoring thriller on Tuesday.
