Lahore Qalandars and Islamabad United are the two teams to have already qualified for the PSL 2023 knockout matches. Islamabad United beat Quetta Gladiators by a narrow margin of two wickets in their last match to qualify for the last four for the 7th time in 8 years.

Multan Sultans are also expected to get through even if they win one of their remaining three games. With Quetta Gladiators not really in the race anymore, it will be a two-way tussle between Peshawar Zalmi and Karachi Kings to make the playoffs.

Mohammad Rizwan has been leading the run-scoring charts in the Pakistan Super League 2023. He has already amassed 388 runs from 7 matches at an average of 77.60 and the best of 110 and is unlikely to be toppled from his perch anytime soon. Imad Wasim is the only other batter to have crossed the 300-run mark in the competition. Wasim has been striking at 176.88.
