Karachi Kings have had a brilliant start to their campaign with two back-to-back victories. They have beaten the two best sides of the previous season: Lahore Qalandars and Quetta Gladiators. Now, they are on their way to record a hat trick of wins and move to the top of the leaderboard. The Kings will square off with Rawalpindiz in Lahore. This contest will be live on April 2 (Thursday) at Gaddafi Stadium, starting at 7:30 PM IST.
Adam Zampa and Hasan Ali have been in wicket-taking form for the Kings. With the bat, Moeen and Warner used their experience well and played crucial knocks. On the other hand, Rawalpindiz suffered an unlucky loss in their opening game. They failed to defend 224 runs, despite having bowlers like Amir, Naseem, Rishad, and Asif. They must be disappointed after that and will look to bounce back.

RAP vs KAR: Pitch Report
The wicket at Gaddafi Stadium is flat, and there is very little help for the bowling side. The small square boundaries with a fast outfield help the batters to go big. With the surface offering good bounce and pace, the ball comes nicely to hit. Already two record totals have been chased here, and we might see more high-scoring contests.

RAP vs KAR: Players to Watch out for
Karachi Kings: Moeen Ali has been fantastic for Karachi Kings in two games. He has taken wickets in both games and also played crucial knocks with the bat.
Rawalpindiz: Yasir Khan played a blistering knock, and the youngster looked confident in playing big shots. With that confidence, he will try to produce another good knock and can be dangerous in the power play.
Rawalpindiz vs Karachi Kings Today’s Match Prediction: Rawalpindiz have an excellent batting unit, but the challenge will be to produce another good batting performance. They have had a break of four days between two matches, and they must have talked about their bowling plans. So, they might come prepared this time around. Karachi Kings have been in great form and have a good bowling unit.
Their bowlers are experienced and contain the opposition. That will be a challenge for Rawalpindiz also, because they might not get many freebies. So, it will be a great game of T20 cricket between these two sides. But because Karachi Kings are coming with form, they will start this game as favorites.
