With three wins and one defeat, MUL is at the top of the league table. The team will rely on Mohammad Rizwan, Rilee Rossouw, David Miller, and Keiron Pollard to get massive hits to set a big target. 

In the last match, Miller scored a stormy half-century (52 in 35 balls), including 3 fours and 4 sixes. MUL Skipper Rizwan also pulled a half-a-ton on 38 balls, including 5 fours and one big hit, along with Rossouw, who made a handy 36 on 30 balls 

On the bowling side, Carlos Brathwaite, Mohammad Ilyas, Ihsanullah, and Abbas Afridi will provide crucial assistance by giving critical breakthroughs. 

On the other hand, Most of the runs were scored by the KAR batting lineup, including Matthew Wade, James Vince, Haider Ali, Shoaib Malik, captain Imad Wasim, and Irfan Khan.

James Vince got 46 runs off 36 balls in the previous game with three fours and two sixes, while Matthew Wade and Imad Wasim scored 36 and 35 not out.

The team would look to players like Aamer Yamin, Mohammad Amir, Akif Javed, Imran Tahir, and Imad Wasim for pivotal breakthroughs in the previous game. The best bowler for KAR in the last match, Akif Javed, got four wickets while giving up 28 runs in 3.3 overs.

MUL has gained momentum after dropping the tournament's first game and has now won three straight games. Skipper Mohammad Rizwan hopes they can build on their recent success in this match.

Yet, with a convincing victory against LAH, KAR has ended a three-match losing trend. Imad Wasim, the team's captain, hopes the team can continue to be reliable with both bat and ball in the next games.

Throughout the history of the T20 format, the two sides have met 11 times, with the MUL winning five games. Kings, on the other side, have triumphed four times.
