In 2025, the Pakistan Super League will clash with the Indian Premier League. There are few big names that have failed to cement their spot in IPL for the different teams and hence they will be in the spotlight for the Pakistan Super League.
In the previous edition of the league, Islamabad United came out as the winner of the league. They finished the league stage at the 3rd spot with 5 wins and 4 losses and a net run rate of +0.224. They defeated Quetta Gladiators and Peshawar Zalmi in the playoffs and cemented their space in the final game.
In the final fixture, Islamabad United faced Multan Sultans and defeated them in a thrilling encounter. They will be the defending champions in PSL 2025 and the match prediction of the United will have the best tips.
When it comes to the T20 cricket leagues, the bowling lineup plays an important role. It looks like the batting unit are the match winners but at the end of the day, the bowlers always come out as the winners for every team.
Pakistan cricket is known for its dominance for its pace bowling. Their pitches are designed to favour the pace bowlers and in recent times they have also come up with some deadly spin attacks in the red-ball format.
During the Pakistan Super League, bowlers from across the globe will be eyeing to shine and make headlines for all the right reasons. In this article, we have collected the list of bowlers who are expected to rise and shine in the league.
1) Usama Mir - Multan Sultans
Pakistan’s very own Usama Mir will be in the spotlight again as he was the leading wicket-taker in the league last year. The Right-arm Leg Spinner dominated the league with his variations and topped the charts against all the odds. Usama Mir carries immense experience in domestic cricket and hence Multan Sultans will benefit from his spin bowling attack.
