Karachi Kings and Quetta Gladiators are going to play their second match of HBL PSL T20 2016 in Sharjah Cricket Stadium.
Last time when both sides appeared against each other, Gladiators emerged victorious and they still have a psychological edge over the opponents, but they have to find out a solution to tackle Ravi Bopara in the batting line as well as the bowling.

Karachi Kings have been continuously rescued by Ravi Bopara who is in excellent shape, acing both, the batting game and the bowling. If Gladiators get him out early and play him sensibly, they can avoid the damage he can cause.
Both sides have won their last match played in this league so they are relief for this match and can play this match with ease and comfort.
