Fascinating PSL 2023 on Cards

We are reaching the stage of play-offs where we have witnessed high-scoring thrillers where the teams have scored in excess of 220 which is massive. Lahore Qalandars have got a dangerous team where they have got a lot of match winners present in the team. It won’t be wrong to say that the Shaheen Afridi, led side can defend their PSL title.

It would be interesting to see whether the pitch at Lahore would be a sporting one as these high-scoring thrillers have made the game look like a book cricket. Multan Sultans skipper Mohammad Rizwan has got a dangerous middle-order present as the inclusion of Kieron Pollard has done wonders for the team. Babar Azam would be keen to make a statement that he is not done yet by winning the championship as there are talks going on that Babar Azam would be removed from the T20I format to manage his workload.
