PSL 11 Milestone Achieved by Peshawar Zalmi’s Overseas Star

In a remarkable display of batting prowess, Kusal Mendis, the star player of Peshawar Zalmi, has etched his name in the history books of the Pakistan Super League (PSL) by becoming the first overseas player to achieve the milestone of 500 runs in a single season. Mendis, the Peshawar Zalmi opener, achieved this feat in PSL 11, where he has accumulated 500 runs in just 9 matches and 9 innings. His impressive performance has seen him maintain an average of 62.50 and a strike rate of 170.64, while also registering four half-centuries and one century in the tournament. Currently, Mendis is leading the run-scorers’ chart in PSL 11, positioning himself as a strong contender for the top batting honor in the tournament. His Peshawar Zalmi captain, Babar Azam, is hot on his heels, having scored 485 runs in 9 matches, including three fifties and one century, at an average of 80.83 and a strike rate of 141.39. As Peshawar Zalmi gears up to face Islamabad United in the first playoff on April 27 at the National Stadium, Karachi, the competition between Mendis and Babar is set to intensify, with both batters still in the running to finish the season as PSL 11’s highest run-getter. The winner of the playoff will secure a direct spot in the final, while the losing side will get another chance through the Eliminator, where it will face the winner of the second playoff between Multan Sultans and Hyderabad Kingsmen.
