As the league is nearing its group stage conclusion, teams are putting all their efforts into climbing to the top four spots in the points standings and earning a spot in the playoffs. LAH will want to win this game and clinch the top place before to playoffs, even though they have already secured their berth in the playoffs. Conversely, the eliminated KAR will attempt to ruin the game to finish their campaign on a high note.

In the most recent game, LAH earned a respectable score of 226/5. Fakhar Zaman played well with the bat, scoring 115 runs to assist his side to a tremendous total. Sam Billings (31 runs) and Kamran Ghulam (41 runs) both played solid innings to help at the opposite end. Rashid Khan and David Wiese will play aggressive strokes in the last few overs.

In the previous game, their bowlers only allowed the opposition 107 runs, helping them to a 119-run victory. Rashid Khan was the match's standout performance, with stats of 4-0-21-4. To help bowl out the opposition, Haris Rauf (2/16), Zaman Khan (2/17), and David Wiese (1/17) each contributed a crucial wicket.

KAR scored a respectable 164 runs. Adam Rossington performed at his peak, scoring 69 runs in only 45 balls while hitting ten boundaries and a six. Attacking runs from Imad Wasim (30 runs) and Aamer Yamin (23* runs) helped the scoreboard remain active throughout the game.

In a nail-biting match, their bowlers allowed the opposition to score 168/6 runs in 19.5 overs and lost by 4 wickets.

Match Details

Match: LAH vs KAR, 30th Match, Pakistan T20 League, 2023

Date: Sunday, March 12, 2023

Time: 07:30 PM

Venue: Gaddafi Stadium, Lahore

Pitch and Weather Report 

Chasing is the ideal course of action on this wicket since no score can be considered safe and because bowlers would struggle to bowl with the dew in the second innings.

Lahore has a decent outfield, and dew may build in during the latter stages of the game, making it challenging for the bowlers to grip the ball properly. In this game, too, 180+ runs are predicted.

Both sides scored a lot of runs on the belter track in Lahore. We anticipate more run fright in this game, making it difficult for the bowlers to contain the batters. We expect humid conditions with weather delays throughout the game. The temperature of the match evening will be around 18℃ to 33℃ with a wind speed of 5km/h in the north direction.

Match Prediction

As a result of their poor results this season, the KAR needs more confidence. On the other hand, the LAH has a vigorous batting assault with solid contributions from their hitters. Therefore, we anticipate LAH to win this game since they have a strong, veteran team that, on paper, has more firepower than KAR in all areas.
