Peshawar Zalmi are aiming to clinch Pakistan Super League (PSL) for the first time since 2017 in the upcoming ninth edition, commencing on February 17.
The Zalmi fanbase has experienced a surge following the addition of top Pakistan batter Babar Azam in 2023, who also assumes the role of captain.
All attention will be on the 29-year-old once more, but promising talents such as Saim Ayub and Mohammad Haris are also in the spotlight. The international prospects add an extra layer of excitement to the team.
PSL 9 will be held in four cities — Karachi, Lahore, Multan and Rawalpindi — with the final of the event taking place at the National Bank Stadium in Karachi on March 18.
Like the previous edition, the PSL 9 will take place in two legs with Multan Cricket Stadium and Lahore’s Gaddafi Stadium hosting 14 matches between them from February 17 to 27. The action then moves to Rawalpindi’s Pindi Cricket Stadium and Karachi’s National Bank Stadium, where 16 matches will be held from February 28 to March 12. The event will then move to Karachi in its entirety for the playoffs.
