KAR vs PES Dream11 Prediction: Fantasy Cricket Tips, Today's Playing 11, Player Stats, Pitch Report for PSL 2023, Match 2

The second match of PSL 2023 will see Karachi Kings (KAR) take on Peshawar Zalmi (PES) at the National Stadium in Karachi on Tuesday, February 14. Ahead of the match, here's everything you need to know about the KAR vs PES Dream11 prediction.

Karachi Kings had a dismal PSL campaign last season, winning only one out of their 10 games. However, they have rung in the changes in the off-season, with Shoaib Malik and Haider Ali making the move from Peshawar Zalmi.

Although they will be keen to start the campaign on the right note, the Kings are up against a strong Peshawar Zalmi side, led by Babar Azam. Despite being light on the bowling front, Peshawar's batting unit should hold them in good stead.

With valuable points up for grabs, a cracking game is on the cards in Karachi.
