The HBL Pakistan Super League (PSL) has reached a significant milestone—300 matches in its history during PSL 10! This achievement was celebrated during a match between the Quetta Gladiators and Multan Sultans at Lahore’s Gaddafi Stadium. Notably, the Quetta Gladiators were also the teams that participated in both the first and the 300th games of the HBL PSL, which took place in February 2016; they won both of those matches.
A Decade of Action and Growth
In more than a decade, the HBL PSL has evolved from a promising idea to Pakistan’s leading cricketing brand. From the first match in Dubai to full houses in Pakistan, the league has produced quality cricket consistently. It has not only entertained domestic fans but also drawn a global audience.
According to Salman Naseer, CEO of HBL PSL, “The league’s journey reflects the unwavering trust of fans, the brilliance of our players, and the dedication of every stakeholder involved.”
