The Pakistan Super League (PSL)’saction-packednew season, which will once more provide cricket fans with hours of entertainment, is almost here. The highly anticipated PSL is starting in less than 24 hours, and the top six teams are all ready to play in the eighth season. The previous season’s finalists, Multan Sultans and Lahore Qalandars, will square off once more in the new PSL season, but not before a flashy opening ceremony.
The PSL 8 matches will take place in the four major cities. Together, Multan, Karachi, Lahore, and Rawalpindi will play in the 34-match competition. All six teams have star players, but only four elite teams, who will excel during league play, will be able to advance to the playoff rounds. In terms of strength, Peshawar Zalmi, Islamabad United, and Multan Sultans are the teams with the best combination of young and seasoned players. The PSL 8 will also feature performances by some major international stars from the Lahore Qalandars, Karachi Kings, and Peshawar Zalmi teams.
A challenging situation can be changed by the Lahore Qalandars’ excellent combination of domestic and foreign players. The main Qalandar weapons are Rashid Khan, David Wiese, Harry Brook, and Liam Dawson. The Multan Sultans also have a strong group of hard-hitting batters, including Tim David, Khushdil Shah, and Rilee Rossouw. They also have a wise captain in Mohammad Rizwan, who has the ability to maintain the team’s unity through his shrewd leadership.
Paul Stirling, Alex Hales, and Colin Munro are just a few of the outstanding international players who play for the two-time champion Islamabad United and are known for their aggressive batting. Shadab Khan, the current captain of United, is also a key member of the team and an all-around player. As one of the best batters in the world right now, Babar Azam will likely be missed by the Karachi Kings this season. The Kings will need people like Shoaib Malik and captain Imad Wasim to step up in his place. Mohammad Amir and Mir Hamza, two dangerous pacers who are on Karachi’s team, can make things difficult for the opposing team.
