Karachi Kings on Thursday at the National Cricket Stadium in Grenada.
United are one of the most successful PSL franchises as they lifted the trophy twice in 2016 and 2018. They have one of the strongest batting lines-up with Alex Hales and Paul Stirling as their opening batters.
Azam Khan, Rassie van der Dussen, and Asif Ali are the other notable inclusions in the decorated batting line-up while they also have a young talented lad in the form of Hassan Nawaz.
The team also has a good spin attack with the likes of Zafar Gohar, Moeen Ali, and Mubasir Khan.
As far as Karachi Kings are concerned, they are all set to improve their performance from the last season with an explosive bowling line-up.
The Imad Wasim-led side has picked Imran Tahir and Mohammad Amir to handle the bowling unit.
