How was this page built?
Sources: Cricsheet ball-by-ball data, checked against Wikipedia: PSL records and statistics and our methodology. Matches abandoned without a ball bowled are not in the data, and neither is one PSL 1 match, Karachi Kings against Peshawar Zalmi on 11 February 2016, so no record from those games is included. Multan Sultans before 2026 is the franchise now called Rawalpindiz.
