DUBAI: The outcome of today’s match between Islamabad United and Karachi Kings will decide as to who would be the fourth team to play in the next leg of the Pakistan Super League 2017.
Although, Islamabad United have qualified for the playoffs but their encounter with Karachi Kings on Sunday is important for Lahore Qalandars too.
Islamabad’s win against Karachi by a margin of 15 runs or in case they bat second, and chase the target in 18.2 overs, Qalandars will have a better Net Run Rate (NRR) and on this basis they will qualify for the playoffs.
This calculation is considering there is a total of 150 in the first innings. The calculation is marginally different if the score is 180 or 200.
If the match is washed out and both the teams get one point each, Karachi will automatically qualify on points’ basis.
