Arch-rivals Kings and Qalandars to battle it out tonight

The third edition of Pakistan Super League (PSL) will witness the clash of egos tonight (Monday), as Karachi Kings will take on Lahore Qalandars at Dubai.

Kings are currently on the top of the points table with four points, winning two games consecutively. Meanwhile, the Qalandars are yet to score a win.

The Qalandars are at the bottom of the table, losing their two games. They first lost to Multan Sultans by 43 runs and then were ridiculed by Quetta Gladiators, who outclassed Qalandars by nine wickets.

McCullum's men would be eyeing to change their fortunes against arch rivals Kings and this could be their best chance after Kings are expected to be without their premier bowler Mohammad Amir.

Amir’s injury has come as a major blow for Imad Wasim’s side. “It is a major blow for our team to lose such a world class player,”stated Kings skipper Imad Wasim.
