In the fourth match of PSL T20 2016, Karachi Kings will be up against Quetta Gladiators today in Dubai International Cricket Stadium.

Having won their opening matches in a convincing fashion, it will be a real test of consistency in performance for both teams. As per expectations and expert opinions, it will be a close contest unlike previous one sided games we have seen so far in this league.

Quetta Gladiators was said to be slightly on the weaker side before the start of this competition, but they really stunned who underestimated them by beating Islamabad United in the season opener. They are in the game with a balanced unit, if not with the big guns. Karachi Kings has raised the bar with a thumping victory over Lahore Qalandars, but Gladiators can be a tough challenge to triumph.

It would be a treat to watch if Kevin Pietersen faces Mohamamad Amir for a couple of overs.
