They will be looking to their captain, Nicholas Pooran, to lead from the front with the bat and to their bowlers, including the impressive Usman Tariq, to make crucial breakthroughs. A win against the Kings would not only boost their confidence but also improve their position on the table.
This match isn't just about two points; it's about two contrasting strategies and a battle of momentum.
