PSL 2023: The ongoing edition of the Pakistan Super League has been action-packed and is now gradually heading into the business end. The season formally kicked off back on February 13 with a Lahore-Multan encounter, while the highly-anticipated final is set to occur on March 19. Defending champions Lahore Qalandars has been the team to beat so far in the competition following a whopping 6 victories in 7 league matches.
Sunday night’s enthralling clash between Quetta Gladiators and Islamabad United remained the recent most fixture of the PSL 2023. The encounter between PSL heavyweights turned out to be a last-over thriller with the Islamabad-based side achieving a 2-wicket close win. The triumph further helped Shadab Khan-led Islamabad United qualify for the upcoming playoffs.
“I thought both teams were looking to lose tonight I guess, but we played better and won. But lots to learn, our bowling let them score 180 and we collapsed while batting but cricket is a game where we can learn a lot. As a senior player and captain, I take responsibility for both my bowling and batting tonight. At the end of the day, if we get 2 points that’s what matters.” said Islamabad United skipper Shadab Khan in the post-match presentation

The widely admired Cricket-turned-commentator Danny Morrison is known for his witty sense of humous. The former fast bowler represented New Zealand in close to 150 international fixtures. Moreover, Morrison was involved in a similar controversy a few years back during the Indian Premier League. The 57-year-old New Zealander had lifted a cheerleader on his shoulder during the live coverage of the India-based league.
