Mohammad Rizwan has been one of the most consistent batters in the PSL. He has over 2,400 runs in the league at an average of 41, including one century and 20 half centuries. Rizwan has an excellent record at this venue, averaging around 51.
Karachi Kings are likely to have Tim Seifert and David Warner opening the innings. Seifert is coming off a superb T20 series against Pakistan, while Warner is one of the safest batters in the game.
David Warner may have retired from international cricket, but he remains a valuable asset in franchise cricket. He had a terrific BBL season earlier this year, scoring 405 runs at an average of 45. Back him to have a good start on this pitch.
The pitches at the National Stadium, Karachi, are generally balanced with something in it for both batters and bowlers. The average batting first score in the previous PSL edition at this ground was 167. Since this is the beginning of the season, you can expect a flatter pitch on offer.
