2024 Pakistan Super League - General Discussions

[Master Khan]

Really upset to see PSL get cancelled this year
Only semi finals and finals were left so I think they should just let it finished.
Feel sorry Lahore Qalandars as they reach the semi finals after finishing last every year.
They suspect that a overseas player who left the country might have Coronavirus so they postpone/cancelled it which sucks, this stupid Coronavirus have runied everything

Postponed, not cancelled

Fastest deliveries by bowlers in the HBL PSL 5:
Shaheen Afridi - 151.6 kph
Hasnain - 151.0 kph
Muhammad Musa - 150.8 kph
Dilbar Hussain - 149.6 kph
Naseem Shah - 148.7 kph
Wahab Riaz - 148.6 kph
Chris Jordan - 148 kph
Haris Rauf - 147.3 kph
Salman Irshad - 144.5 kph
Akif Javed - 144.2 kph

I never thought Shaheen would be clocking 151. He is definitely the best pacer in Pakistan, that too by a country mile.

Naseem's average speed in this year's PSL was 141.82 kph. Naseem Shah bowled 64 out of 132 deliveries at 145+, which means 41% of his deliveries were over 145. It was freakish from Naseem considering he just turned 17, and is yet to reach his prime.

Pakistan has great fast-bowling reserves currently and is proved by the fact that 9 out of the 10 fast deliveries were bowled by Pakistanis and only 1 by a foreigner. Shaheen, Hasnain and Musa all bowled a delivery (at least) above 150, while Naseem hit 148.7, and these 4 pacers are not even 20 yet. Just imagine these 4 bowling together and that too 2-3 years down the road when their bodies should be at their peaks. Waqar Younis couldn't have asked for many better young talents than these, to work with. Surely, the upcoming years will be exciting times for fast-bowling and Pakistan fans.

Hi guys,

I'm currently studying a masters looking at the attendance motivators for Twenty20 cricket matches. If anyone can fill out the questionnaire (link below) that would really help me out, Thanks!
