The iconic stadium of Karachi has hosted many historic games across formats in international cricket. Forget about International cricket in the previous seasons of PSL we have seen some breathtaking encounters at this venue.
The National Stadium Karachi is home to Karachi Kings so they will play all of their homes at this venue. Although the stadium is their home it hasn’t been lucky for them considering the horrific show in the last season. Karachi Kings lost all 5 of their matches at this venue last season and finished at the bottom of the table.
Karachi Kings have changed their captain Babar Azam since then and they would expect a change in their fortune as well.
