Rawalpindi: During the match against Quetta Gladiators in the ongoing 10th edition of the Pakistan Super League (PSL), Lahore Qalandars opener Fakhar Zaman achieved a notable milestone by scoring his 20th PSL half-century.
Teaming up with Abdullah Shafique first and then Daryl Mitchell, Fakhar milked the Quetta bowlers all over the park. A flick here, a crunching cut there, he was in the zone. When he raised his bat for the 20th time in a PSL innings past 50, the dugout was up on its feet. And so were the fans in Pindi.
With this achievement, Fakhar Zaman becomes the third player to reach the 20 half-centuries mark, joining Mohammad Rizwan, who has also tallied the same number of fifties. Both players are now tied for second place in the all-time list for fifties in PSL.
The record for the most half-centuries in PSL belongs to Peshawar Zalmi captain Babar Azam, who has an outstanding 33 fifties to his name, making him the only player in the league’s history to surpass the 30-fifty milestone.
This latest achievement showcases Fakhar Zaman’s consistency and talent in the T20 format and contributes to the excitement surrounding the PSL season.
Here are the top players with the most fifties in PSL history:
- Babar Azam (Peshawar Zalmi) – 33 fifties
- Mohammad Rizwan (Multan Sultans) – 20 fifties
- Fakhar Zaman (Lahore Qalandars) – 20 fifties
- Shoaib Malik (Quetta Gladiators) – 15 fifties
- Colin Munro (Karachi Kings) – 13 fifties
