<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="psl-2024-karachi-kings-vs-peshawar-zalmi"><strong>PSL 2024: Karachi Kings vs Peshawar Zalmi</strong></h2>



<p>Talking about the afternoon fixture, Shan Masood-led Karachi Kings got better of Babar Azam-spearheaded Peshawar Zalmi by 7 wickets. Peshawar Zalmi could score 154 runs in 19.5 overs in the loss of 10 wickets. Skipper Babar Azam remained the pick of the batters as he played a sublime knock of 51-ball 72. Rovman Powell, later in the innings, scored 25-ball 39 followed by Asif Ali's 16-ball 23 to take Peshawar's total to 154 runs.</p>



<p>For Karachi Kings, Hasan Ali and Mir Hamza scalped three wickets each while Daniel Sams picked two.</p>



<p>In the chase of 154 runs, Karachi Kings got decent partnerships right from the start of the innings. Though none of their batters, barring Kieron Pollard, could play long innings, the handy contributions did the trick for them. All-rounder Kieron Pollard, late in the innings, played a blitz knock of unbeaten 49 runs in just 21 deliveries and single-handedly snatched away the game off Peshawar's grasp.</p>



<p>Eventually, it was Karachi Kings, who managed to emerge victorious against Peshawar Zalmi by 7 wickets.</p>

The defending champions rose on the back of Rassie van der Dussen's fine 54 runs knock which came in just 37 deliveries and Fakhar Zaman's 36-ball 41 to post 166 runs.</p>



<p>To lead from the front, Multan Sultan skipper Mohammad Rizwan played a match-winning 82 runs knock and led his side to the win convincingly. Multan managed to complete the target in 19 overs and won the fixture.</p>

<p><strong>Latest PSL Points Table 2024 Updated: </strong>Peshawar Zalmi ensures the top two finish in the ongoing season of the Pakistan Super League (PSL) with a decent win over Karachi Kings in match 29 at the National Stadium in Karachi. Babar Azam's Peshawar sealed the fixture by 2 runs in the final delivery of the match and moved to atop the PSL Points Table 2024.</p>



<div class="wp-block-rank-math-toc-block" id="rank-math-toc"><h2><strong>Table of Contents</strong></h2><nav><div><div class=""><a href="#latest-psl-points-table-2024-updated">Latest PSL Points Table 2024 Updated</a></div><div class=""><a href="#psl-2024-top-4-playoff-qualified-teams">PSL 2024: Top 4 Playoff Qualified Teams</a></div><div class=""><a href="#psl-2024-highest-run-getters">PSL 2024: Highest Run Getters</a></div><div class=""><a href="#psl-2024-highest-wicket-takers">PSL 2024: Highest Wicket Takers</a></div></div></nav></div>



<p>The game saw Babar Azam score a fine half-century, though almost run-a-ball, which helped his side rack up 147 runs in 20 overs after losing six wickets. Peshawar Zalmi couldn't produce any big innings, barring Babar Azam's 51-run knock which came off 46 deliveries. </p>



<p>Towards the end of the innings, Rovman Powell added a handy 30 runs to the team's total in 18 deliveries before getting run out.</p>



<p>Eventually, Peshawar set a target of 148 runs for Karachi Kings to win the game. Though the total didn't look threatening, Karachi Kings lost it as they continued losing wickets at regular intervals.</p>



<p>Despite getting a decent start to their innings with a first-wicket partnership of 61 runs in 8.5 overs, Karachi fell 2 runs short of the required target in 20 overs. Wicketkeeper batter Tim Siefert played a 41-run knock in 30 deliveries.</p>



<p>Midway through the innings, Shoaib Malik chipped in and scored 22 runs followed by Irfan Khan's unbeaten knock of 39 runs in 26 deliveries, but it wasn't meant to be their night. </p>



<p>Karachi Kings eventually lost the game against Peshawar Zalmi by 2 runs. It's noteworthy that Karachi had nothing to lose as they were already eliminated from the playoff race.</p>

<p><span>Australia Cricket Team has faced a massive blow ahead of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. T20I captain Mitchell Marsh has been ruled out the entire tournament with a back injury, and there are chances that he might miss the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025.</span><span><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></p>
<p><span>Mitchell Marsh has been struggling with his back ever since the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25 started. The pacer looked in pain but continued playing for Australia before he was dropped from the team as Beau Webster replaced him for the last match at the Sydney Cricket Ground.</span><span><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></p>
<p><span>Following that, Mitchell Marsh played a single game in the Big Bash League, and after that,t, he was rested from the last three matches of the BBL season to mentally and physically refresh ahead of the ICC  Champions Trophy 2025. However, it came as a big surprise that selectors ruled him out.</span><span><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></p>
<h2><span><span class="Apple-converted-space">Mitchell Marsh has been ruled out of the upcoming ICC Men's Champion's Trophy with ongoing lower back pain and dysfunction - Cricket Australia </span></span></h2>
<p><span>Cricket Australia released the official statement, saying that the all-rounder has been ruled out with lower back pain and dysfunction. The statement added that they made the decision, keeping in mind the long-term plan, adding that they will be naming a replacement soon.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></p>
<p><span>"Mitchell Marsh has been ruled out of the upcoming ICC Men's Champion's Trophy with ongoing lower back pain and dysfunction. The National Selection Panel and Australian men's medical team ruled Marsh out of the tournament with the injury which has not responded sufficiently to rehabilitation.</span><span><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></p>
<p><span>"His lower back pain flared in recent weeks, leading the NSP to make the longer-term decision for Marsh to complete a more extended period of rehabilitation. Marsh will now undergo a period of further rest and rehabilitation as part of his return-to-play plan. The NSP will meet to decide on a replacement for Marsh in due course." Statement from Cricket Australia read.</span><span><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></p>
<p><span>Mitchell Marsh getting ruled out of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 comes as a huge blow. The all-rounder has been the key member of the team in the white-ball cricket. Since 2023, he has been sensational with the bat, as he has averaged 44.54 in ODIs with a strike rate of 109.13. Along with this, he also has been handy with the ball.</span><span><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></p>
<p><span>Cricket Australia are also mulling over the fitness of captain Pat Cummins as well. The pacer has been struggling with the ankle injury and there is no clarity over him as well. If both Marsh and Cummins get ruled out, then there will be headaches for the management as they won't have a captaincy option.</span><span><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span><span></span></p>
<p><span>Steve Smith and Travis Head might be asked to take over the role then. Josh Inglis also is there as he recently led the team in home summer, both in T20Is and ODIs.</span></p>

<p><strong>IND vs ENG 4th T20I: </strong>With the scoreline of 2-1, India and England are now going to play the fourth T20I of the series at the MCA Stadium, Pune. There is a lot at stake for England, but India has some breathing space. </p>
<p>England have lost all three tosses so far and still managed to secure a win while batting first on a batting paradise. Meanwhile, India, who were used to winning series with a clean sweep, have lost one match in the series but can still wrap up the series in their favor today in Pune.</p>
<p>Let's take a look at the squads and strongest Playing11 possible for India and England in the 4th T20I:</p>
<h2><strong>IND vs ENG 4th T20I Squads</strong></h2>
<p><strong>England Squad:</strong> Philip Salt, Ben Duckett, Jos Buttler(c), Harry Brook, Liam Livingstone, Jamie Smith(w), Jamie Overton, Brydon Carse, Jofra Archer, Adil Rashid, Mark Wood, Saqib Mahmood, Gus Atkinson, Jacob Bethell, Rehan Ahmed</p>
<p><strong>India Squad:</strong> Sanju Samson(w), Abhishek Sharma, Suryakumar Yadav(c), Tilak Varma, Hardik Pandya, Washington Sundar, Axar Patel, Dhruv Jurel, Mohammed Shami, Ravi Bishnoi, Varun Chakravarthy, Arshdeep Singh, Rinku Singh, Shivam Dube, Ramandeep Singh, Harshit Rana</p>
<hr>
<h2><strong>Playing11 and Strategies</strong></h2>
<p><strong>INDIA: </strong>Rinku Singh has returned to contention after recovering from his injury. On Thursday, India's assistant coach, Ryan ten Doeschate, confirmed that he is fully fit. His extended net session further hinted at his potential inclusion in the playing XI for the upcoming match.  </p>
<p>When it comes to strategy, India relied heavily on spin in the previous game, fielding five spinners—Washington Sundar, Axar Patel, Varun Chakaravarthy, Ravi Bishnoi, and Abhishek Sharma—alongside just two pacers, Mohammed Shami and Hardik Pandya.</p>
<p><img class="img-additional" src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/images/202501/image_430x256_67950e34bd1be.jpg" alt=""></p>
<p>However, the pitch in Pune is unlikely to offer much assistance to spinners. With Rinku Singh, a reliable left-handed batter, back in the mix, India could consider making a tactical adjustment by replacing Washington Sundar with an additional pacer, Arshdeep Singh, to strengthen their pace attack.</p>
<p><strong>*India Playing11: </strong>Sanju Samson (wk), Abhishek Sharma, Tilak Varma, Suryakumar Yadav (c), Hardik Pandya, Rinku Singh, Axar Patel, Ravi Bishnoi, Mohammed Shami, Arshdeep Singh, Varun Chakaravarthy</p>
<p><strong>ENGLAND: </strong>England might go with the same playing11 as in the 3rd T20I. There isn't any solid reason for them to make any changes only if there is a forced one. Jamie Smith(if not available) might get replaced by Jacob Bathell if needed.</p>
<p><strong>*England Playing11: </strong><span>Ben Duckett, Philip Salt (wk), Jos Buttler (c), Harry Brook, Liam Livingstone, Jamie Smith/Jacob Bethell, Jamie Overton, Brydon Carse, Jofra Archer, Adil Rashid, Mark Wood</span></p>
<hr>
<h2><strong>Pitch Report of Pune's MCA Stadium</strong></h2>
<p>The MCA Stadium in Pune is known for its batting-friendly conditions, making it a prime venue for high-scoring encounters. With short square boundaries and a true surface, batters often enjoy their time in the middle, and big totals are a common sight. If the scores don’t breach the 200-run mark, as was frequently seen in the last IPL, it would likely be due to disciplined bowling rather than any assistance from the pitch.</p>

<p>Unlike some other venues in India, dew is not a significant factor here, ensuring that both innings are played under fairly consistent conditions. Additionally, the pitch tends to remain firm throughout the game, offering good bounce for stroke play and providing some assistance to pacers who hit the deck hard. With these factors in play, the MCA Stadium is set to witness a thrilling contest filled with raining boundaries and aggressive stroke-making.</p>

<h2><strong>IND vs ENG 4th T20I Dream11 Team and Fantasy Tips</strong></h2>
<p>Pune's MCA Stadium is a batting paradise, and unless we witness any sort of collapse, it will be a high-scoring game. Anything under 170 would be below-par. We will make our team based on this, and not to mention, there will be a risk factor. </p>
<p>For Wicketkeeper, Jos Buttler is going to be the first choice for everyone and he is a must-pick player. Sanju Samson is our second pick as he is not much picked, and he is due for a good performance. There couldn't be a better ground other than MCA Stadium for him to get his form back. He is even a choice for captain if you can take extra risks. </p>

<p>Tilak Verma is in great form and Ben Duckett is a good player of spin. With not much grip off the surface, these two batters are expected to fire to a good extent. SKY is under the radar and this Pune surface suits him so he is going to be in the team considering of what he can do when is in form. Tilak Verma or Ben Duckett can be another option for the captain and probably the safer option.</p>
<p>There are a lot of options in this section for both teams. Hardik Pandya and Liam Livingstone are two must-pick players and besides them, Overton might prove to be a good option. </p>
<p><img class="img-additional" src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/images/202501/image_430x256_67990b84a34e9.jpg" alt=""></p>
<p>Arshdeep Singh, if plays the match, must be in the dream11 team. Replace him with Mohammed Shami if Arshdeep doesn't play. Varun Chakravarthy and Mark Wood would be the two other bowlers. </p>

<p>This makes a strong team, more focused on the batting side as the pitch will favor the batters more. The bowling options are those who are most likely going to take wickets on such a surface. </p>

<p><span>India batter Shubman Gill has started his preparations for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. The premier batter has returned to nets for the white-ball practice as he was named in the Indian team for the ODI series against England and the ICC tournament.</span><span><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></p>
<p><span>Shubman Gill has been under a lot of pressure for his poor outings with the bat, especially in Test cricket. With the emergence of Yashasvi Jaiswal, who delivered consistent performances, there were a lot of questions about the place of Gill, even in the ODIs.</span><span><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></p>
<p><span>Several fans and experts also have backed Yashasvi Jaiswal to open the innings for India in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 along with Rohit Sharma. However, amid all this Shubman Gill is making sure that he gives his best to train for the tournament.</span><span><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></p>
<p><span>With England ODIs and ICC Champions Trophy 2025 around the corner, Shubman Gill was seen batting in the Punjab Cricket Association Stadium. He was seen batting with the white-ball ahead of the tournament and the video can be seen at the end of the article.</span><span><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></p>
<p><span>Shubman Gill looked in golden touch with the bat as he played a pull towards the four before blocking the balls. The batter would be eager to make a strong comeback and reply to all the criticism in style with his performances in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025.</span><span><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></p>
<p><span>Shubman Gill recently played the Ranji Trophy 2024-25 for Punjab. The batter was the lone warrior for his team as he hit a magnificent century and returned to form after having a poor outing in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25, where he played just three games.</span><span><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></p>
<p><span>Shubman Gill would want to carry on his form and help a team win. He has been one of the best batters for India in ODIs. He also has been named as the vice-captain of the team for the tournament and with added responsibility under his belt, a lot will be reliant on him.</span></p>

<p><span>Pakistan batter Babar Azam has been in the news for the last few days, especially with the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 around the corner. The batter's name has been discussed a lot related to making him open, especially with no clarity over Saim Ayub.</span><span><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></p>
<p><span>Pakistan is the only team that has yet to announce the squad for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. Since the last few days, he has been in the news as there have been a lot of reports that have suggested that there are chances that he might open the innings for the team.</span><span><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></p>
<p><span>However, the fresh reports in Cricket Pakistan have revealed that there are no plans to make Babar Azam open the innings. The reports added that the selection committee has not given the green signal to the development as they feel that batter will be best suited in the middle order.</span><span><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></p>
<h2><span><span class="Apple-converted-space">Selectors want a proper opener in the role; Babar Azam to at in middle-order</span></span></h2>
<p><span>The reports claimed that selectors want a proper opener in the role. One of the openers that has been finalized by the management is Fakhar Zaman. However, with Saim Ayub likely to miss out, it is learned that Imam-ul-Haq is also in contention to take the role.</span><span><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span><span></span></p>
<p><span>Babar Azam has been the best batter for Pakistan in ODIs. The batter has mustered truckloads of runs for the team in the format while batting at No.3 and he will be extremely crucial for his team in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025, which will be played in Pakistan with India games to be played in India.</span><span><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></p>
<p><span>Babar Azam also has been a decent opener as well. He has been opening for the team in T20Is and has achieved massive success as well. He also opened in Test cricket during the recent South Africa series and aced that challenge as well, slamming two half-centuries in two innings.</span><span><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></p>
<p><span>But, in white-ball cricket, Babar Azam has been criticised a lot for opening in T20Is. This is because he has failed to maximise the powerplay and has been batting with a low strike rate. It remains to be seen where he will be batting for the team in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025.</span></p>
