As Lahore Qalandars have won both matches against Multan Sultans in this tournament, Lahore Qalandars will go into the field with a lot of confidence before taking on Multan Sultans in the qualifiers today. However, Md Rizwan, the captain of Multan Sultan, is currently number one in the list of highest runs. And their bowling line-up also has all the great bowlers.  So today's match is going to be a very competitive and great match because winning this match will ensure the finals so no team will want to miss this opportunity today and both team's players will fight with their best today to reach the finals.

Qalandars have played two games against Sultan and both won by Qalandars. So they defiantly have that edge in today's game. Lahore Qalandars have gone so high in performance because of their strong bowling line-up. They have Shaheen, Haris Rashid and Wise as there front line bowlers.
Having side that Multan also has strong batting line up in the form of Rizwan, Miller and Rilee Rossouw. But they lag behind Lahore in bowing department.

Multan Sultans will take on Lahore Qalandars in the first qualifier match. Multan Sultans and Lahore Qalandars were excellent throughout the season. Lahore Qalandars under the leadership of Shahen Shah Afridi is performing well. But I prefer Multan Sultan between Multan Sultan and Lahore Qalandars. Because PSL 2023 is the highest run scorer but Md Rezwan is currently leading Multan Sultan. Moreover, their team includes various T20 specialist stars including Osman Khan, Kieron Pollad. The team that wins today's match will go directly to the finals and the losers have one more qualifier match to follow. But no team will want to take Ricks today. Both teams will want to secure the tickets for the final today.

I would rather favor Multan Sultans for today's match, since they have won their last two matches and therefore have the momentum. On the other hand, Lahore Qalandars lost their last match to one of the weakest teams in the tournament (to be fair, the absence of Shaheen Shah Afridi negatively impacted the fortunes of Lahore). David Wiese's captaincy also didn't clicked during the last match. Now Afridi is back as the captain, and the bowling department is also boosted. He will be up against Mohammad Rizwan (top run scorer in this season so far) and Rilee Rossouw.

This psl have produced some amazing talents and have given PCB some great talented boys like zaman Khan,  ihsanullah , saim ayub . These will be a gem worth using in recent World Cup .
Tomorrow 1st play off between lahore Qalandars and Multan Sultan will be a competitive one although Lahore Qalandars balling side is a good one .

Great to hear you enjoyed the matches and the young lads did their best, especially Abbas Afridi. It is always inspiring to see young players with high hopes and aspirations for their future in cricket.
Playing at the international level requires a lot of hard work  dedication and skill. It is important for these young players to continue to hone their skills and work on their weaknesses to improve their chances of making it to the international level. Additionally they should also focus on developing mental toughness, resilience and the ability to handle pressure as these are essential qualities for success in any sport.


The upcoming match between Lahore and Multan will be a tight contest with both the teams possessing a lot of talent. As far as the match between Islamabad and Peshawar is concerned, Islamabad looks to have the upper hand and Azam Khan has been exceptional for them. However, T20 is an unpredictable format and anything can happen on match day.

The match between Lahore and Multan will be quite competitive as both are equally good side. While in Islamabad and Peshawar I will say Islamabad has more chances of reaching finals but anything can happen on that day since T20 is unpredictable format. From Islamabad side Azam Khan is outstanding so far and hopefully he will be available for next round matches.

All the matches were good matches and we have thoroughly enjoyed almost all the matches.
The young boys gave their best perticulary Abbas Afridi  - all these young boys are looking fwd for their chance in the international cricket. They have high hopes that one day they will be international team players.

Finally the top four are on the chart.
But in my opinion after the poor performance of Lahore in yesterday match. I think the top two teams will be Multan sultan and Islamabad united.

Multan is no lesser than the Lahore Qalandars.
Of Course this match will be interesting - Shaheen Afridi proved to be a good captain and so is Muhammad Rizwan. seems like Babar Azam captaincy is in trouble.
There are rumours that Shaheen Afridi will be next captain in T20 series. But I think Shaheen Afridi would not accept it.

This will be a block buster match before the finals. Both teams are strong and it will be worth watching this match live and see one team going to the finals.

Whom do you people think is a better team ? I reckon Lahore to be favorites as the match will be held in Lahore and therefore host team may have an advantage. Shaheen Shah Afridi can be the main difference between the two teams.

PSL playsoff schedule are about to done, top 4 team of HBL PSL will face each other in upcoming days in march, league table topper Lahore Qalanders will face Multan Sultan on Wednesday 15th march while Islamabad will face his nightmare Peshawer Zalmi on Thursday 16th march. It's tough match for all of them because it's will be a deciding match where contender of final will be selected, in these final round every team will give more than his best, in my opinion Lahore Qalanders and Peshawer Zalmi will qualify for final of HBL PSL .

Karachi Kings was outstanding yesterday they bowled excellently,  unfortunate of them to be out of psl with such good players.
Lahore Qalandars lost  yesterday because of poor unstable batting.

Karachi Kings seem to have done exceptionally well against Lahore Qalandars, as they have won back-to-back matches against them. Although the defeat did not affect Lahore Qalandars' points, it could have a negative impact on their morale. However, as the league progresses and we move towards the playoffs, each team will have to bring their best game to the table if they want to make it to the finals.
The top four teams that qualified for the playoffs will now compete against each other in the knockout stage. The winners of these matches will book a place in the finals of HBL PSL 2023 Season 8. It will be interesting to see which team makes it to the finals and who emerges as the champion of this exciting tournament.


It is great to hear that Pakistan Super League has grabbed the attention of the cricketing world this year. T20 cricket is known for its fast-paced and high-scoring matches, and it is interesting to see how the league is performing on this front. Both Lahore Qalandars and Multan Sultans performed well in the league stage and their upcoming qualifier should be an interesting encounter between two strong teams. The knockout stage matches are always important, as each team tries to do their best to make it to the finals. I hope this tournament will be an exciting and thrilling experience for both players and fans.

ALthough Karachi King won but it didn't help them anyways.
Today both the matches were interesting - Zalami also played well and so did karachi kings.

Again Karachi defeat the HBL PSL top standing team Lahore Qalanders by huge margin of 86 runs , it's look like that Karachi become the horror dream for Lahore Qalanders because they lose consecutive two matches against them. No doubt this defeat didn't affect Lahore Qalanders points but damage Lahore player moral. It's last match after that playsoff match will begin where these qualified top 4 team will face each other while the two winner will get tickets to play final of this HBL PSL 2023 season 8.

The Pakistan League is almost over. Now the point table game is over and the knock out stage matches will be seen. Next March 15 Lahore Qalandars vs Multan Sultans qualifier match will be held. It will be a big fight with the top and 2nd on the points table. However, this year's Pakistan tournament has caught the attention of the cricket world. Which is quite different from previous session. Most of the matches in this tournament get 200 or more and this is how T20 cricket should be.

Look like Lahore Qalandars being the best team still is unable to beat the Karachi kings and they twice lost to them in this series. Karachi kings batted well to score 197 runs but in response, Lahore Qalandars batting collapsed and they were able to score only 110 runs.
It was an important win for the Karachi kings morale as they were already out of the tournament and they must have wanted to end the tournament on a high note with a win and this is exactly what they did today.

Lahore Qalandar and Multan Sultan ended up first and second on the table and this means they will play the first Playoff on Wednesday, 15 March, 2023.

The 30th Match of Pakistan Super League has started today. Lahore Qalandars vs Karachi Kings these two teams have come to the field to play. Karachi Kings are now batting. They scored 98 runs in 9.4 overs. But Karachi Kings have lost 3 strong wickets so far. Lahore Qalandars  Its players are not able to bowl very well. However, it cannot be said that any team will win in this match until the game is over.

It seems that Islamabad United won the toss and elected to bowl first as the Pindi Stadium has favored teams chasing in previous matches. Despite missing key players like their captain babar due to illness Peshawar Zalmi managed to score 179 runs, with Harris scoring 79 runs at an impressive strike rate of 202 and Rajapaksa scoring 41 runs at a strike rate of 164.However none of the other batsmen seemed to be able to score significant runs.
It will be interesting to see how Islamabad United respond to this target and whether the Peshawar Zalmi bowlers can defend their score against a relatively inexperienced team.

---

Both teams seemed to perform well and the match was closely contested. However the outcome of the game seemed to hinge on a crucial moment in the last over when the wicket of Faheem Ashraf fell which swung the momentum in Peshawar Zalmi's favor and eventually gave them the lead. It is always exciting to watch such closely fought matches in cricket and it looks like this match did not disappoint.
