The fourth week of the 2026 Pakistan Super League (PSL 11) lived up to fan expectations, delivering heart-stopping thrillers, exceptional bowling performances, and a growing sense of urgency as the tournament hurtles towards its climax. The week witnessed seasoned stars seizing crucial moments and emerging talents making their mark, with some players experiencing a meteoric rise while others faltered due to inconsistent showings. Here’s a rundown of the PSL 11 Power Rankings for Week 4: Hasan Nawaz’s inconsistent week encapsulated Quetta’s struggles. He started with a solid 37 off 35 against Peshawar Zalmi in a losing effort, only to bounce back with a match-winning 49 off 33 against Lahore Qalandars where he played a pivotal role in the chase. However, he failed to sustain momentum, managing a mere 5 off 6 in a crushing defeat to Zalmi. Shadab Khan quietly compiled a solid all-round week, consistently contributing with vital middle-overs control and chipping in with wickets in Islamabad United’s outings. Earlier in the tournament, he showcased his ability with a 3-wicket haul, and this week he continued to be a stabilizing force with both bat and ball. Shaheen Afridi remains among the leading wicket-takers this season, consistently striking with the new ball. However, Week 4 was slightly underwhelming by his standards, as he lacked that defining, match-changing spell. Peter Siddle has been a surprise package, delivering tight spells and bringing control during crucial phases, especially in low-scoring contests. His experience is clearly helping his side navigate pressure situations, even if he isn’t always among the top wicket-takers. Shan Masood had a steady rather than explosive week, playing crucial anchoring knocks that ensured stability at the top when wickets were falling around him. While he didn’t produce a standout innings, his role in building partnerships and absorbing pressure keeps him relevant in the rankings. Iftikhar continues to be one of the most impactful all-rounders this season, already among the top wicket-takers in PSL 11 and adding finishing power with the bat. Arafat Minhas is emerging as one of the breakout stars of the tournament, with his left-arm spin proving effective in the middle overs and showcasing maturity beyond his years. Sufiyan Muqeem had a standout week, including a match-winning spell where he picked up 3 wickets and earned Player of the Match honors. He’s been one of the most feared bowlers this season, consistently picking up 3+ wickets every game. Babar Azam reminded everyone why he’s still among the elite, highlighted by a sensational century that not only anchored his team but also saw him break major T20 records. Despite ongoing debates about his strike rate, his consistency and ability to deliver big innings under pressure remain unmatched. Kusal Mendis takes the top spot after another explosive week, having already produced match-winning knocks this season, including a stunning 74 and even a century earlier in the tournament. His aggressive intent at the top and ability to dominate bowling attacks give his team early momentum.
