Seven matches of the Pakistan Super League (PSL) have been kicked-off as the first week has terminated. The most awaited league has crossed initiations and there is a two-days gap for the eigh match to be played. These two match-less days will pass like months for the fans as they are heading for further matches.
After an opening ceremony held at Karachi, National Stadium, the league embarked with the clash among two times PSL winners, Islamabad United and current title defenders, Quetta Gladiators.
Gladiators rocked the ground with their bashing performance against United and exploded them away. The hitman they have got so-called “Azam Khan” has added much power to the side. The side is already destructive with the perfect opening duo of Jason Roy and Shane Watson.
Quetta heading into three matches till now have succeeded in two matches and have occupied the second position on the ranking table.
Islamabad United, the most likely to lift-up the trophy also managed to won two out of three matches. The last and seventh match of the first week that was the most thrilling one till now in PSL 2020 between Lahore Qalandars and United has put United on the top as thumping victory against Qalandars in last over signature by Musa.
Few appreciatable knocks by batsmen and spells from bowlers have been created as well. Karachi Kings against Peshawar Zalmi scored their first highest score of PSL that was 202 and the highest of PSL till now. Kamran Akmal from Zalmi has scored a brilliant knock of 102 against Gladiators which makes him the only man to hit a century in PSL 2020. The man with the most number of sixes has added some more to his prior record.
Shaheen cannot stop inspiring everyone with his spells. He went for four wickets against United but his efforts went vacant as United edged out Qalandars. Also, the 98 of Hafeez remained useless as no-ball by Shinwari in the end stroke.
The next match is to be played between Multan Sultans and Peshawar Zalmi on 26th February at the Multan stadium. It is to be noted that Multan is to host its first match of the PSL.
