Lahore Qalandars and Karachi Kings meet in the sixth match of Pakistan Super League 2026 on Sunday, 29 March, under lights at Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore. The game begins at 8:00 pm local time.

The home squad is led by Shaheen Shah Afridi and also includes Abdullah Shafique, Fakhar Zaman, Sikandar Raza and Haris Rauf, with Mustafizur Rahman, Dasun Shanaka and Gudakesh Motie among the overseas names. Karachi Kings bring a squad that features David Warner, Moeen Ali, Salman Ali Agha, Hasan Ali and the Australian leg-spinner Adam Zampa.

Conditions should suit stroke-makers: the surface is flat and the outfield quick, although the new ball may move early and variations will matter for the bowlers later. Because dew is common in the evening, the side that wins the toss will probably bowl first. Our preview expects Lahore to call correctly but picks Karachi Kings to win a competitive contest.

Pitch report

Gaddafi Stadium is generally a batting-friendly venue, with a flat surface, consistent bounce and a fast outfield. Pacers can find a little swing with the new ball in day-night games, and spinners get some help in the middle overs without dominating. Dew often affects evening matches, so teams usually like to chase.

Weather

Lahore is expected to have a mild, pleasant evening at 8:00 pm local time, with temperatures around 22–24 °C and mostly clear to partly cloudy skies. The chance of rain is very low and light winds should keep conditions comfortable, though humidity may rise a little after sunset.
