What is the Pakistan Super League?
The Pakistan Super League (PSL) is a Twenty20 (T20) professional men’s cricket league. Overseen by the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), the PSL was formed as a single entity in 2016. Each active PSL franchise is owned and operated by its investors rather than independently owned teams.
The initial commercial rights to the teams were sold for ten years for $93 million. However, its market value has risen substantially since, with the rights to broadcasting its ninth and tenth seasons set to increase 45% and 113%, respectively.
As with the IPL (Indian Premier League), the PSL brings together many of the most talented cricketers in one of the shortest cricket formats. The PSL’s success has inspired other nations like Sri Lanka to form their own T20 franchise league.
History of the Pakistan Super League
The Pakistan Cricket Board announced the PSL in September 2015. Ex-Pakistan Test Match and ODI captains Wasim Akram and Rameez Raja promoted Pakistan’s new T20 league and were PSL brand ambassadors for the first three years.
The opening two seasons of the PSL consisted of five teams in the federal capital and the capital cities of Pakistani provinces. Like the Indian Premier League (IPL), the PSL uses a draft system to recruit players for each team. The league expanded to a six-team event in 2018, with the Multan Sultans hand-picked out of five possible franchise locations.
Pakistan Super League Schedule & Format
The 2024 Pakistan Super League format is no different from the previous eight seasons. It’s held between six teams in a double round-robin format, followed by a playoff system. All teams play each other twice, with the four main venues of Lahore, Multan, Karachi, and Rawalpindi chosen to stage matches equally during the season.
The PSL playoffs then take on the same shape as the Indian Premier League (IPL). The top two teams play Qualifier 1, with the winner automatically qualifying for the PSL final. The third and fourth-ranked teams enter Eliminator 1, with the winner advancing to Eliminator 2 to play the losing team of Qualifier 1. Essentially, the loser of Qualifier 1 gets two attempts at qualifying for the final.
Which Teams Play in the Pakistan Super League?
Islamabad United: Two-time PSL winners in 2016 and 2018
Karachi Kings: Won their first PSL in 2020
Lahore Qalandars: Won back-to-back PSL titles in 2022 and 2023 – chasing three in a row
Multan Sultans: Won their first PSL title in 2021
