Karachi Kings cricketers will get a big gap between the two matches, which they can use to refresh themselves. According to the latest reports, David Warner may go for a short trip to Australia ahead of their next Pakistan Super League match. It has also been claimed that the batsman will return to Pakistan and rejoin the franchise to prepare for the upcoming matches.
Under the leadership of the experienced batsman, Kings have ruled the points table so far. They got 3 wins from 3 matches while remaining undefeated with a net run rate of +0.486. On 2 April, at the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore, they defeated the Rawalpindi-based franchise in a thrilling run chase. Karachi won the match by chasing the target of 198 runs with 4 balls remaining.

Chasing a high-scoring target, captain David Warner and middle-order batsman Azam Khan gave the team a hat-trick of victory. Warner, who came to start the innings, scored 50 runs in 36 balls. Warner’s opening partner Naseem Shah played a stormy innings of 23 runs in 11 balls.
But the main hero in the match for Karachi Kings was Azam Khan. The batsmen took the team very close to the target before losing the wicket. Batting at a strike rate of 217.65, Khan scored 74 runs in 34 balls with the help of six fours and six sixes. After the match, the captain of Karachi Kings expressed the importance of Azam Khan’s match-winning innings.

“Look, it was fantastic. You know, he just needed a little bit of intent to come out and play his way, and we know what he’s capable of doing. I know he’s definitely capable of doing what he’s capable of doing, but to see him come in and bat in the middle tonight, it feels like he did. It will put him in good stead for the rest of the tournament,” Warner said about Azam Khan’s batting performance.
However, no official statement has come on Warner’s tour of Australia. It will be interesting to see when this batsman joins the team again.
