Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) organized an exhibition match ahead of the upcoming Pakistan Super League (PSL) 2023. The PSL is considered to be one of the most-watched T20 franchise leagues where the spectators can see high-scoring thrillers and there are a lot of exciting overseas players who take part in it.

Pakistan in T20 WC 2022 made a terrific comeback after losing against India & Zimbabwe. The Men in Green showed never to say die attitude but couldn’t lift the championship. Pakistan doesn’t have a reliable middle order which ruins all the hard work of the top order.

Iftikhar Ahmed Smashes Wahab Riaz

At the end of 19 overs, Quetta Gladiators’ score was 148-5 where Iftikhar was on 58 runs in 44 balls. Wahab Riaz bowled the 20th over where Iftikhar thrashed him all around the park where Wahab was clueless as all his variations were proving to be ineffective. Iftikhar struck 6 sixes and took Quetta Gladiators’ score to 174-5.

Crucial PSL 2023

Under the regime of PCB Chairman Najam Sethi, it would be interesting to see how the league pans out. Last time the then Chairman Ramiz Raja had received a lot of flak for making flat wickets where bowlers got a lot of beating. This year’s PSL is extremely important for Babar Azam as there are reports which suggest that captaincy would be snatched away from him to manage his workload.

PCB would be hoping that they find quality replacements as we all witnessed that the injuries to Shaheen Afridi & Haris Rauf made their bowling attack weak in the home Test series against England where they lost by 3-0 . It won’t be wrong to say that now the board must have a wide range of players as there is a lot of cricket scheduled where playing 3 formats is quite risky.
