Rawalpindiz Vs Karachi Kings Live Score, PSL 2026: Khushdil Shah Picks Two Wickets; RWP: 70/3 (8 Ovs)

Khushdil Shah has picked two wickets and put his team in pole position in the match. Despite RWP racing to 70 in 8 overs, few more wickets here and KRK could be well on top.

RWP: 70/3 (8 Overs)

RWP have lost another wicket in the form of Yasir Khan (8) as KRK make inroads in the game. This has been a great PP for the David Warner-led side especially the conditions now being supportive to seam bowling.

RWP: 41/2 (5 Overs)

Mohammad Rizwan has to walk back with Hasan Ali taking the big scalp of the Rawalpindiz skipper. Rizwan had hit some good boundaries but ultimately had to walk back on an entertaining innings of 21.

RWP: 28/1 (3 Overs)

Seems like the weather has intervened as slight drizzle comes in during the game. Umpires look to be slightly confused, first they take the players off and then stop them midway.

The players are running on to the field as we get near the action between RWP and KRK at Gaddafi Stadium. Given the conditions at the stadium has been conducive to batting, it was interesting to see David Warner bowling first.

Rawalpindiz (Playing XI): Yasir Khan, Mohammad Rizwan(w/c), Kamran Ghulam, Daryl Mitchell, Sam Billings, Cole McConchie, Abdullah Fazal, Rishad Hossain, Naseem Shah, Mohammad Amir, Mohammad Amir Khan

Karachi Kings (Playing XI): David Warner(c), Muhammad Waseem, Salman Agha, Saad Baig, Moeen Ali, Azam Khan(w), Khushdil Shah, Abbas Afridi, Hasan Ali, Adam Zampa, Mir Hamza

Rizwan: Will try to carry the momentum from the last match with the bat. Two changes in our team. They have depth in their batting and also have bowling options. We need to play good cricket. Played good cricket for 35 overs in the previous game but Zalmi took it in the last five. Have to play good cricket till the end.

Warner: Going to have a bowl first. Wicket looks nice. Saw the team in the earlier game chase down the total. We like continuity and the balance that we have - our local fast bowlers have been exceptional. It's about being positive and not holding back. Same team.

Karachi Kings have won the toss and have opted to field.

We will have the toss and playing XIs from Lahore soon when both the captains will come to the ground. Karachi Kings' tails will be up with two back-to-back wins whereas RWP will want to register a win after losing their only game so far.

After not registering for any IPL franchise, Zampa is plying his trade with Karachi Kings in the Pakistan Super League (PSL). The New South Wales cricketer, in a recent interview, opened up on why he decided to ditch the IPL for the PSL.

"I pulled out of the IPL this year. To be brutally honest, for someone with my skill set, I just don’t get the money that others with other skill sets do. And for the amount of time that the IPL takes, it just didn’t seem like a reasonable choice for me to keep playing it,” Zampa stated on the ARY News podcast.

“I was going to have a break, but PSL was on the radar about a month ago. It all happened pretty quickly, but I’m enjoying it,” he added.
