Karachi Kings look to extend their perfect start against winless newcomers Rawalpindi Pindiz under the lights at Gaddafi Stadium, Lahore. Kings have been dominant early in PSL 2026, winning both matches to sit atop the standings with 4 points and an NRR of +0.524.

Yasir Khan impressed with the bat, but captain Mohammad Rizwan needs collective improvement. The clash takes place on Thursday, April 2, 2026, at 7:30 PM IST (2:00 PM GMT).
