Karachi Kings vs Islamabad United | Match Predictions and Betting Tips

Karachi Kings will be up against Islamabad United in the sixth match of PSL season 2021 scheduled to be held at the National Stadium in Karachi on wednesday, February 24. Here is a fair chance to earn a quick buck from the best KK vs IU betting tips I have picked for you.

Both the teams are powerfully built when it comes to playing in the shorter format in cricket. Islamabad United defeated Karachi Kings in PSL 2019 in both the matches by 7 wickets and 5 wickets but the Kings bounced back in the 2020 season conquering both the matches the duo played by 5 wickets and 4 wickets respectively. Kings and United made it to the eliminator 1 round in 2019 where United beat the Kings by 4 wickets securing a place in Eliminator 2 to fight against Peshwar Zalmi to whom they finally lost. PSL 2020 had a different story to tell, where Kings fought back and earned a spot in the finals to play against Lahore Qalandars to ultimately win the champion title. This for sure shows us that, this season will be a riveting one where both teams will combat to obtain a spot in the final.
