I would suggest buying grass rather than seeds. Season for planting grass is in early spring so you will have to wait a little(For karachi it might be different). Generally it is available by feet ( ranging from Rs.6 to Rs.20 per Sq feet) and you would atleast require 150-200 Sq Ft for quick ground cover otherwise you can space it wide apart but it will take time. It requires large amount of water in initial stage kind of flooding state so i hope you don't have watering issue.

As you already have wild grass you would need to take it all out before planting new so that chances are less of it coming up again. Thoroughly dig the ground atleast a foot and let it lay so that any left over grass that comes up again to be plucked out again. Add river soil/silt so that initially the ground is soft for grass to expand quickly.

Ask for "amreekan ghaas"... you will get Korean grass (Zoysia tenuifolia)..
Ask for "dhaka ghaas" or "sasti wali ghaas"... you will get Bermuda grass (Cynodon dactylon)..
check out their pictures on google images and you will get the idea...
