KAR vs QUE Dream11 Prediction & Fan2Play Possible 11 Pitch Report: PSL 2023 Match 6 | KK vs QG Dream11 Prediction Today | Karachi Pitch Report

It’s the battle of the winless so far in PSL 2023. Karachi Kings, after a poor 2022 season, have lost two out of two, while Quetta Gladiators were smashed by Multan. So, while it’s still early in this campaign, both teams will be mindful of gaining confidence and avoiding falling too far behind too soon.

Gladiators won both meetings last season. Naseem Shah blew the Kings away with 5/20 in one meeting, and Quetta will be calling on the star seamer to make inroads into a Karachi batting lineup that has fared relatively well so far this season despite the two losses. For Karachi, the key will be whether their bowling attack can limit the opposition on what is often a belter of a batting pitch.
