KAR vs PES: Dream11 Picks for PSL 2026 Showdown

Match 32 of PSL 2026 is here, and it’s a big one! Karachi Kings take on Peshawar Zalmi at the Gaddafi Stadium, Lahore, on 22nd April at 3:00 PM IST. With the playoff race heating up, both teams need a win, but the odds are stacked against the Kings after a string of poor performances.

Peshawar Zalmi are riding high with five consecutive wins and sit comfortably at the top, thanks to their star duo Babar Azam and Kusal Mendis. Mendis has been on fire, leading the scoring charts with 330 runs, while Babar follows closely with 301 runs. On the other hand, Karachi Kings will look to their captain Moeen Ali and explosive opener Jason Roy to turn things around. Ali has been solid with 182 runs and 7 wickets, but can he inspire his team to snap their losing streak?

The pitch at the Gaddafi Stadium is typically a batting paradise, with an average first innings score of 182. Expect pace to dominate, as bowlers will need to adjust quickly. With the weather sunny and temperatures soaring at 41°C, hydration will be key for both teams. Head-to-head, Zalmi have the upper hand, winning 16 of their last 24 meetings. Can Karachi break the trend, or will Peshawar continue their dominance?

Final tips for your Dream11: Captain Kusal Mendis or Babar Azam, with Moeen Ali as a solid vice-captain pick. Keep an eye on emerging talent Sufiyan Muqeem, who's taken 17 wickets this tournament. Let’s see who comes out on top in this crucial face-off!
