PSL 2026 KK vs IU: Head-to-Head, Probable Playing XI, & Where to Watch

Karachi Kings and Islamabad United both come off a loss against Hyderabad Kingsmen, who bagged their first wins of the season. The two teams will be looking to get back to winning ways and stay in the top four as the business end of the league approaches. Islamabad, with seven points, are one spot ahead of Karachi, thanks to a washout against Peshawar Zalmi. A win could take the Kings to at least third place.

Going by the history between both teams, that might be somewhat unlikely. In 24 matches where they have faced each other, Karachi have won only six games while Islamabad have been the better side in 18. The last time Karachi Kings won a game over Islamabad was during their title-winning season in 2020. Since then, the two teams have clashed in ten games, all of which were won by United.

Probable Playing XI:

Karachi Kings:
David Warner, Reeza Hendricks, Salman Ali Agha, Saad Baig, Moeen Ali, Khushdil Shah, Azam Khan, Abbas Afridi, Mohammad Hamza, Adam Zampa, Mir Hamza.

Islamabad United:
Devon Conway (wk), Sameer Minhas, Mohammad Faiq, Mark Chapman, Shadab Khan (c), Haider Ali, Imad Wasim, Faheem Ashraf, Chris Green, Richard Gleeson, Salman Irshad.
