Top Run Scorers – Green Cap Race
PSL mein har sezon ke leading run scorer ko Green Cap aur Hanif Mohammad Award diya jata hai. Is waqt Green Cap Kusal Mendis ke paas hai.
- Kusal Mendis (Peshawar Zalmi) – 493 runs
Mendis ne 493 runs banaye hain 70.42 ki average aur 172.37 ki strike rate se – jisme ek century aur chaar half-centuries shamil hain.
- Babar Azam (Peshawar Zalmi) – 426 runs
Babar ka average 85.20 hai – iska matlab hai woh apni wicket sasti nahi deta. Strike rate 142.95 hai jo Mendis se zyada conservative lagti hai, lekin dono milke ek deadly opening partnership banate hain.
- Fakhar Zaman (Lahore Qalandars) – 343 runs
- Steven Smith (Sialkot Stallionz/Quetta Gladiators) – 337 runs
- Sahibzada Farhan (Multan Sultans) – 335 runs
- Hasan Nawaz (Quetta Gladiators) – 288 runs
Abdul Samad ka strike rate 242.42 hai – yeh PSL 2026 ka best strike rate hai. Jab Samad crease par aata hai toh achi score killing score mein badal jaati hai.
Top Wicket Takers – Maroon Cap Race
PSL mein leading wicket taker ko Maroon Cap aur Fazal Mahmood Award diya jata hai. Sufiyan Muqeem (Peshawar Zalmi) abhi Maroon Cap hold kar rahe hain.
- Sufiyan Muqeem (Peshawar Zalmi) – 18 wickets
Muqeem left-arm wrist spinner hain aur PSL 2026 ka sabse bada bowling sensation. Inhone 16 wickets sirf 5 matches mein liye aur apne aap ko ek dangerous force sabit kiya. Unki economy rate 6.71 hai – matlab yeh wickets bhi lete hain aur runs bhi rokteen hain.
Muqeem ne ek serious knee injury se wapas aake yeh kamal dikhaaya – surgery ke baad almost 10 mahine baad unhone cricket mein wapsi ki.
- Shaheen Shah Afridi (Lahore Qalandars) – 14 wickets
Shaheen ne 13 wickets 7 games mein 13.0 ki average aur 6.76 ki economy se liye – woh captain ki zimmedari ke saath bhi apni bowling se team ko jagaye rakha.
- Hassan Ali (Karachi Kings)
4 aur 5. Iftikhar Ahmed (PZ) aur Mohammad Amir (Rawalpindiz) – 10-10 wickets
Iftikhar Ahmed ne 11 wickets liye hain 6.82 ki economy se – aur woh batting mein bhi kaafi valuable hain – yeh unhe tournament ka ek highly cost-effective player banata hai.
Team Analysis: Kaun Jeete Ga PSL 2026?
Peshawar Zalmi – Tournament Favorites
Zalmi ki bowling attack PSL 11 ki arguably sabse complete bowling attack hai: Sufiyan Muqeem (18 wickets), Iftikhar Ahmed (11 wickets), Nahid Rana (economy 5.42), aur Mohammad Basit (7 wickets 3 matches mein) – yeh multiple match-winning options dete hain.
Babar aur Mendis ki opening partnership demolishing hai. Abdul Samad ki explosive batting neechey wali overs mein khatra banati hai. Yeh team mukamal lagti hai.
Multan Sultans – Dark Horse
Multan ki 5 jeetein aur 2 haaren strong return hain. Inki NRR +0.529 confirm karti hai ke yeh team sirf jeeti nahi, marging se jeeti hai. Yeh jo bhi defeat hua, ussey bounce back karte hue dikhaaya ke yeh team kitni resilient hai.
Islamabad United – Analytically Dominant
Islamabad ki NRR +1.481 tournament ki second best hai – iska matlab hai ke jab woh jeetein hain, convincingly jeetein hain. Shadab Khan ki captaincy aur Richard Gleeson ki bowling ne kaafi rang dikhaya hai.
Lahore Qalandars – Disappointing Defending Champions
Lahore Qalandars – jo do baar ke defending champions hain – is season mein kaafi disappointing rahe. Fakhar Zaman ko ball-tampering ki wajah se 2-match ban mila. Sikandar Raza baat aur bowling dono mein below par rahe. Haris Rauf jo death overs specialist the, is season mein sirf 3 wicket 4 innings mein le sake aur 12 per over se runs diye.
Rawalpindiz – Tragic Debut
Rawalpindiz ke liye yeh debut season ek dil tootne wali kahani bani. 8 matches mein 0 jeeten, NRR -1.647 aur ab playoffs ki race se bilkul bahar. Mohammad Rizwan, Naseem Shah, aur Daryl Mitchell jaisi talent ke bawajood team ek unit ke tor par kaam nahi kar saki.
PSL 2026 Ki Badi Controversies
Is season mein cricket ke saath saath drama bhi bahut raha:
Lahore Qalandars ke captain Shaheen Afridi aur Sikandar Raza par security protocol todne ka ilzaam laga – Punjab Police ne PSL CEO ko formal letter likha aur inquiry huyi. Shaheen par Rs. 10 lakh ka jurmana laga aur PCB ne sakhht nayi regulations jari kiye.
Karachi Kings ke match mein ball tampering – Lahore Qalandars ko Law 41.3.2 violate karne par 5 penalty runs di gayi jo Karachi Kings ko award hue.
Mohammad Nawaz ka positive drug test – recreational drug ke liye PSL ke dauran testing mein positive aaya, jiska source T20 World Cup period bana.
PSL 2026 Playoffs Schedule
Qualifier 1: 2 May 2026 – 1st vs 2nd place team Eliminator: 3 May 2026 – 3rd vs 4th place team Qualifier 2: 5 May 2026 – Loser of Qualifier 1 vs Winner of Eliminator Final: 10 May 2026 – Winner of Qualifier 1 vs Winner of Qualifier 2, Gaddafi Stadium, Lahore

PSL 2026 Historical Winners
PSL ab apne gyarahwe edition mein hai. Pichli jeetein kuch is tarah hain:
Islamabad United – 3 titles (sabse zyada) aur is season ke strong contenders Lahore Qalandars – 3 titles (including 2025 championship) Peshawar Zalmi – 1 title Karachi Kings – 1 title Quetta Gladiators – 1 title
PSL 2026 Ki Biggest Individual Performances
Kusal Mendis ki century Karachi Kings ke khilaf – Ek splendid innings jo PSL 2026 ki memorable performances mein shaamil hai.
Usman Khan ki 44-ball century – Kingsmen ki 2nd highest chase ki madad ki, jo is season ki sab se yad rakhi jaane wali innings mein se ek hai.
Sufiyan Muqeem ka 16 wickets 5 matches mein – yeh aisa performance tha jo PSL history mein bowling ke baare mein naya standard set kar raha hai.
Zalmi ka 159-run margin win Karachi Kings ke khilaf – PSL history mein run-margin ki lihaz se sabse badi jeet.
PSL 2026 Kahan Dekhen – Live Streaming aur Broadcast
Pakistan mein PSL 2026 ke official broadcast channels aur streaming platforms hain:
PTV Sports aur A Sports TV par live coverage available hai.
Tapmad aur Daraz apps par online streaming hoti hai.
PCB ki official website psl-t20.com par live scores aur updates milte hain.
Ghaur karne wali baat yeh hai ke PCB ne India mein PSL 11 ke broadcast rights withhold kiye – matlab yeh matches officially India mein broadcast ya stream nahi honge.
PSL 2026 Ke Baad Pakistan Cricket Ka Mustaqbil
PSL sirf entertainment nahi – yeh Pakistan ka cricket nursery hai. PSL ka Pakistan international cricket par seedha asar raha hai – yeh un players ka training ground hai jo baad mein T20 World Cups aur bilateral series mein chamaktte hain.
Sufiyan Muqeem jaisi discoveries, Sameer Minhas jaisi unexpected performances, aur Usman Khan jaisi centuries yahi sabit karti hain ke PSL Pakistan mein raw talent ko trawash karta hai.
Final Prediction: Kaun Uthayega PSL 2026 Trophy?
Is waqt Peshawar Zalmi sab se strong position mein hai – unbeaten record, tournament ka highest NRR, best batting partnership (Babar-Mendis), aur dominant bowler Sufiyan Muqeem. Multan Sultans aur Islamabad United bhi dark horses hain. Lekin T20 cricket mein kuch bhi ho sakta hai – ek hi match poori tasveer badal sakta hai.
Zalmi is waqt favorites hain, lekin Islamabad United ka experience aur Multan Sultans ka resilience inhe dangerous banata hai. Finals mein kuch bhi ho sakta hai!
