Quetta Gladiators and Karachi Kings will face-off today in Dubai in the second match of Pakistan Super League.

The competition will be interesting to watch as both the teams bring similar strengths to the pitch: strong batting.

The Gladiators are featuring the likes of Kevin Peterson, Sarfraz Ahmed and Shane Watson, while the Kings have Babar Azam, Ravi Bopara and Eoin Morgan in their arsenal.

In the past seasons, even though the Kings had a strong team on paper, they failed to produce any results in either of the two editions.

This time, however, the team's management seems determined to make a difference.

The Gladiators, on the other hand, have Sir Vivian Richards as their mentor, and it is expected that he will continue to add value to the team and keep their morale high.

While the Gladiators are considered to be the best team in the tournament, they have yet to bring a trophy home. The Kings, on the other hand, have a fresh line-up under the young leadership of Imad Wasim.
