Karachi Kings take on Lahore Qalandars in the next match of PSL8.
The match is scheduled to start at 7pm local time (2pm GMT) on Sunday, February 19.
The National Stadium in Karachi will play host to this fixture.
Karachi Kings are yet to win, Lahore Qalandars are yet to lose. Karachi have lost three times, Lahore won once.
Qalandars, last year's winners, opened their account with a one-run victory over Multan Sultans in the first game of this season but haven't played since.
Karachi, meanwhile, have been good with the bat so far but have leaked runs against Islamabad United and Peshawar Zalmi.
The game will likely be decided by who comes out on top in the battle between Karachi's top order - James Vince, Sharjeel Khan, Matthew Wade and Haider Ali - and Lahore's bowling attack.
Qalandars have enjoyed a few days' rest since beginning with a thriller against Multan Sultans, which will no doubt have helped their star-studded seam cartel, which includes Shaheen Shah Afridi, Haris Rauf and Zaman Khan.
