Akin the grand finale of the previous PSL season, the Lahore Qalandars yet again edged-out the Multan Sultans during the ongoing season opening match as well a couple of days ago. However, the latest one in Multan turned out to be an edge-of-a-seat thriller, with Shaheen Afridi’s Qalandars triumphing by 1 run.
The second match of the season was to be mostly about the action between Pakistan captain Babar Azam and pacer Mohammad Amir, and the duo did not disappoint the fans one bit. Playing for the Peshawar Zalmi for the first time ever after having represented the Karachi Kings during the previous six seasons, Babar had the social media abuzz after having played his trademark cover drive off Amir’s bowling, with the latter also showing his aggression after Babar hit his delivery gently towards him.
The spice in the contests within a contest, and with the presence of some of the big names in world cricketing involved in the league, the ongoing PSL 2023 could not have asked for anything more.
