I can't believe that Quetta win😱, wao what a performance by the purple team player Jason roy, he score 145 not out with 20 boundaries and 5 sixes, out of no where he manages to chase a huge huge target of 240 while one ball still left also hafeez and smeed also add Thier effort to chase it down. I think such a kind of performance need quetta to qualify for next round. Now Quetta need another victory against Multan with high run rate and Peshawer should lose against Multan then trough run rate may be Quetta quality. But It's look impossible that Peshawer will do such kind of bad performance to kick himself out of tournament. It's great effort from Quetta but it will be worthless for them.
Peshawar Zalmi gave a massive 240 runs target which would be impossible to chase for any team. Babar Azam scored 115 runs in only 65 runs while Saim Ayub scored 74 runs. The opening partnership between them was for 162 runs. What is more interesting that Peshawar Zalmi lost only two wickets during this process of scoring 240 runs.
What bad luck for Quetta Gladiators, that they badly need a win tonight but they get such a stiff target. I am afraid it will be the end of the journey for the them in this year's PSL

What an exciting game of cricket going on at the moment. Quetta Gladiators at there best. Peshawar Zalmi have given a target of 240 runs and in reply Quetta Gladiators have scored 146 runs in just 11 over. The game is very much ON Quetta Gladiators..Jason Roy has scored 92 runs on just 42 balls and he must stay there till end for Quetta to win this contest. If Quetta win today then there is slight chance of them making to next round but still they are giving there best.
Yesterday's match was really bad for Multan Sultan and they have already qualified for the next match as they were second in the points table. But now it has moved away from the second rank to third rank his bowling in yesterday's match is nothing special but Tim David performance was very admirable his 4 sixes back to back turn match into intense moment. He scored 60 runs off 27 balls but these runs did not work for his team. Anyway Congratulations Islamabad United they won Match by 2 wickets and 1 ball left.
What an unfortunate turn of events for Multan Sultans this season. They were looking very strong, holding their position and winning matches and dominating, and then, all of a sudden, they lost 3 consecutive matches, and Islamabad United has taken the second position sending Multan from 2nd to 3rd.Both Multan Sultans and Islamabad United have two matches left, and it'll be interesting to see who will be among the top two to secure a chance for themselves to still quality for the final even if they lose their first match.
Peshawar Zalmi vs Quetta Gladiators, 25th Match
Peshawar Zalmi vs Quetta Gladiators, 25th Match is again heading for a big score. Peshawar Zalmi score 174 runs losing only 1 wicket in just 15 overs. Saim Ayub and Babar Azam's storming innings will see the team score big one. The bowlers of the opposing team Quetta Gladiators could not make any effect. Probably Babar Azam will get a century in this match. Rovman Powell, on the other hand, will try to add a half-century to his name. Although he has just started the innings. There will be no radical change in winning or losing this match for both of the two teams.

Peshawar Zalmi have crossed 200 runs in 18 overs and Babar Azam have scored his century this is some brilliant batting ny PZ.
Quetta Gladiators could have tried to put pressure on batsman as this match is really important for them to win and to move forward to qualifying round but with this pace it's hard to them to win this match.

Super women won the game easily with 2 wickets fall , they have made 138 runs in16 overs . The target given by Amazons was 132 runs (run rate of 6.6) which is an easy target to chase .
The good thing is these matches are a good step to increase popularity if women cricket in Pakistan.

I couldn't watch the matches. How was the crowd response? In a few months time, PCB will be organizing the WPSL in Pakistan. I am doubtful whether the tournament will get enough support from the fans, because in general women's sports is not taken as priority in that country. WPSL is the brainchild of Rameez Raja, and he put so much effort in to organizing this tournament. I don't know how much the new PCB management supports the WPSL, but my advice to them should be to look at the long term benefits of this tournament rather than focusing on the one-time expenses.
Quetta Gladiators need two wins but impossible hope
A hard statistic for Quetta Gladiators is to win the next match including today's match and Peshawar Zalmi must lose all the next matches including today's match then only Quetta Gladiators can confirm Playoff. Quetta Gladiators dream of such statistics is really unrealistic.
Some such unreal statistics have happened in the past in cricket but if Quetta Gladiators win today's match and if they win the next match too Quetta Gladiators won't secure playoffs due to run rate.

Congratulations to Peshawar on this win that ensures safety in qualification race. While Shaheen Shah and Talat played well, their efforts ended in failure as Lahore lost.
Yeh absolutely Shaheen and talat build a partnership in crutial time where match were completely out of Thier hand, at one time I taught that Shaheen will take the match away from Peshawer because he was doing absolutely phenomenal hitting but after his departure Peshawer grab them and that the turning point for them. Peshawer not just only defeat Lahore but due to this defeat they kick Karachi out of tournament and settle Thier position for semifinal.Congratulations to Peshawar on this win that ensures safety in qualification race.

Again bad day for Multan Sultan as they score a good target but unfortunately the bowling lineup didn't execute they way they need. But any way they are already almost quality for next round of competition. After a comback tim David score a decent knock in his first match but it didn't worth it because they lose to defend a bunch of target. Credit goes to Munro for Thier power hitting and also a big and turning point partnership between the Islamabad captain shadab and Faheem ashraf help them to chase the target and submit a big victory.

Earlier against Karachi Kings, Islamabad United won the match chasing the target of 201 runs. Among the PSL teams Islamabad United is much known for chasing targets.
201 runs is not much because if we look at the previous matches every team has been giving target of 200 or 200+ to the opposition team and the high score in Pakistan Super League was 241 by Lahore Qalandar.
First of the three Women's League Exhibition matches will be played today at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium today. Bismah Maroof will be leading the Amazons, while Nida Dar is the captain of the Super Women. These exhibition matches are being played as a preparation to the WPSL, which will start sometime by September 2023. A total of 5 teams will be competing in the main tournament after 6 months and it is expected that a number of top overseas players from Australia and South Africa will take part.

Peshawer Zalmi vs Lahore Qalanders
In this 23rd match of HBL PSL Peshawer face the league table toper Lahore Qalanders who are unbeaten from his previous consecutive five matches. Peshawer won the toss and take decision of bat first and you can't imagine they crushed the top bowling lineup of entire PSL by scoring 207 against them, with a half centuries of one and only captain of Peshawer king Baber Azam and the young monster saim ayub who brutally smashed every bowler. Now Lahore lose his three wicket in powerplay by just scoring 21. Hope Peshawer will win the match and will qualify himself for next round.

107 runs partnership between Babar Azam and Saim Ayub has done the job for Peshawar Zalmi. Lahore has lost 4 wikcets so far. We saw Quetta Gladiators bouncing back and winning the game after losing 5 wickets for 63 runs. Today target is very high and chances of Lahore Qalandars are very rear but Lahore Qalandars are already through to next round so they won't bother losing this game.

There are 4 overseas players in both teams and they are from England, South Africa, Srilanka and Australia. That's a good start of Women's League Exhibition and if PCB keep it going then it can be a successful event in coming years like PSL.
Amazons have scored 132 runs in there 20 overs and its a competitive target. Aliya Riaz was the top scorer with 38 runs. Amazons got a good start of 46 runs in first 6 oveds but later batsmen (or bats women) were not able to take advantage of that opening stand.

Multan Sultans need to strengthen the bowling. With T20 cricket we can't pin point any of them as the reason for the loss of the match, even with high scores the team losses. This is common and today it had happened with Multan Sultans and Islamabad United is getting to be more stronger every match. In this season's previous encounter between the two it was Multan Sultans to win the match. Islamabad United wasn't able to chase target of 190 runs, everyone got out for 138 runs. Earlier against Karachi Kings, Islamabad United won the match chasing the target of 201 runs. Among the PSL teams Islamabad United is much known for chasing targets.

Let's see next Match Multan Sultans vs Islamabad United
In the match of Multan Sultans vs Islamabad United, Islamabad United defeated Multan Sultan by 2 wickets. Multan Sultan batted first and managed to accumulate 205 runs on the scoreboard for 5 wickets in 20 overs. I think 205 runs in 20 overs is a very big score. But the batsmen of Islamabad United saw this target as too small and they gradually crossed the huge target of 205 runs to win this match. Islamabad United won by 2 wickets against Multan Sultans with one ball in hand. By winning this match so far Islamabad United have retained their second position in the points table. Both teams have played a total of eight matches where Islamabad United have collected 12 points and Multan Sultans have collected 8 points. Finally Match is over Peshawar Zalmi (207 all out) defeat Lahore Qalandars (172 all out) and won Match by 35 runs. If we look at previous match, Lahore Qalander's performance was very good both betting and bowling as compare to this match. Opening of Peshawar Zalmi is excellent and both Saim Ayyub and Baber Azam play well make great partnership. Here's the surprising thing that Shaheen Shah scored 52 runs off 36 balls but this in not profitable for Lahore Qalander. Congratulations Peshawar Zalmi and qualify for next match. Let's see next Match Multan Sultans vs Islamabad United
In 15.3 overs, Peshawar Zalmi were 168/3, but after Baber Azam's wickets, they scored only 39 runs and lost seven wickets. Despite this, Peshawar managed a healthy total, followed by Wahad Riaz's strike early against the top order of the Lahore Qalandars and beat table leader easily. Congratulations to Peshawar on this win that ensures safety in qualification race. While Shaheen Shah and Talat played well, their efforts ended in failure as Lahore lost.Jump to:
