Head-to-head
The upcoming fixture marks the first-ever assembly between Sultans and Kingsmen because the latter are enjoying their maiden PSL.
Form Guide
Sultans and Kingsmen enter the fixture with contrasting momentum of their favour because the 2021 champions are coming off a complete five-wicket victory over Islamabad United of their marketing campaign opener, whereas the brand new entrants are on a two-match shedding streak.
Kingsmen made their PSL debut against holders Lahore Qalandars final week and suffered a 69-run thrashing earlier than locking horns with the earlier version’s runners-up Quetta Gladiators, who inflicted a 40-run defeat on them.
