KAR vs QUE Dream11 Prediction And Top Picks: 1st Match, PSL 2021

The 1st match of the Pakistan Super League 2021 will be played between Karachi Kings and Quetta Gladiators on February 20th at National Stadium in Karachi. We will cover KAR vs QUE Dream11 Prediction, match preview, and Fantasy Cricket Tips.

Karachi Kings Preview:

Karachi Kings come into this new Pakistani Super League campaign determined to defend their crown after winning their first-ever PSL trophy in the COVID-disrupted 2020 edition where they managed to win the trophy despite the death of their head coach Dean Jones during the break-in play.

They will be led by Imad Wasim and they can boast some key local players such as Babar Azam and Mohammad Amir but they have seen two key departures as Iftikhar Ahmed and Mohammad Rizwan have both left the club which weakens them somewhat.

Babar Azam was the standout player for them last year as the top runscorer in the tournament but their second-highest scoring batsmen Alex Hales has joined Islamabad United but they will have high hopes for T20 specialists Mohammad Nabi and Dan Christian who will add great depth as all-rounders

Quetta Gladiators Preview:

Quetta Gladiators come off a hugely disappointing campaign last year where they failed to make the knockout phase so the 2019 champions will be desperate to bounce back this time around and go deep in the tournament.

There is no Jason Roy nor the retired Shane Watson this time around but they have recruited big-hitting Chris Gayle and Tom Banton to lead their batting with Cameron Delport, Azam Khan, Ben Cutting, and skipper Sarfaraz Ahmed.

The bowling attack has a formidable look about it with Mohammad Hasnain and Naseem Shah now supported by Dale Steyn, Qais Ahmad, and Usman Shinwari which looks to be one of the strongest in the tournament.
