The format
How the PSL Standings Work
Points decide the table; net run rate decides the ties; the playoffs decide the champion.
Points for a win
Two points for a win, one for a no-result or tie, zero for a loss. Teams are ranked by points, then net run rate.
Net run rate
The classic T20 tiebreaker: runs scored per over minus runs conceded per over. One heavy defeat can wreck an NRR built over weeks.
The playoffs
PSL 11 introduced a new structure: a single-league round robin, then a Super Four stage, then playoffs — Qualifier, two Eliminators and the Final.
The full mechanics — with examples — are in PSL points table explained.

PSL 2026 Season Recap (PSL 11)
The biggest PSL yet: eight teams, 44 matches, a new format — and a familiar champion.
PSL 11 ran from 26 March to 3 May 2026, overlapping with the IPL for the second straight year. The PCB auctioned two new franchises on 8 January 2026 in Islamabad — the Hyderabad Kingsmen and Rawalpindi Pindiz — taking the league to eight teams. Matches were played in Karachi, Lahore, Rawalpindi, Multan and, for the first time, Faisalabad’s Iqbal Stadium. The new format saw a single round-robin followed by a Super Four stage and then the playoffs. In the final at Gaddafi Stadium, Peshawar Zalmi beat Hyderabad Kingsmen by 5 wickets to lift their second title, nine years after their first. Full season guide: PSL 2026.
2016 – 2026
PSL Timeline: Ten Years in Eleven Seasons
From a five-team experiment in Dubai to an eight-team spectacle at home — how the league grew.
The Dubai years
Five teams, UAE venues, and proof of concept. Islamabad United won the inaugural edition; Peshawar Zalmi took the 2017 title in the first final played on Pakistani soil, in Lahore.
Coming home
Multan Sultans joined as the sixth team. Islamabad won again in 2018; Quetta Gladiators broke through in 2019. More matches moved to Karachi and Lahore each year.
The COVID seasons
Karachi Kings won the pandemic-hit 2020 season in an empty National Stadium; Multan Sultans lifted the 2021 trophy in Abu Dhabi after the season was split by COVID.
The Lahore era
Shaheen Afridi’s Qalandars won back-to-back titles (2022, 2023), Islamabad took 2024 in a last-over thriller, and Lahore returned in 2025 with a record 202-run chase in the final.
Then came expansion: two new teams, a new format, and Peshawar Zalmi’s 2026 redemption. The next chapter is the PSL 2026 season guide.
Numbers
PSL Records That Define the League
The numbers behind eleven seasons — the runs, the wickets and the moments that became legend.
Most runs, single season
Babar Azam’s 588 runs for Peshawar Zalmi in PSL 11 (2026) — the highest tally in one edition, built on relentless consistency at the top.
Highest final chase
Lahore Qalandars chased 202 against Quetta Gladiators in the 2025 final — a record for any T20 final, sealed with a ball to spare.
Closest final
Lahore beat Multan by a single run in the 2023 final — the narrowest margin in PSL history, and back-to-back titles for the Qalandars.
Other landmarks: the league’s first century-makers, the great fast-bowling hauls of the early UAE years, and Multan’s four consecutive finals (2021–2024) — a consistency record that may never be broken. For the team-by-team story, see PSL teams.
