A team having players like Fakhar Zaman, Muhammad Faizan, Sohail Akhtar and Mohammad Hafeez is expected to win most of the matches, but they also need some luck in the form of players like Rashid Khan.

Rashid Khan has always been improving as a batsman and he has scored many quickfire 15 20 runs in IPL matches as well and should be a handy batsman with the experience he gains from each match.

Good one, hopefully the pitches used for PSL will hold good when IPL teams arrives there :)

It's sad that we miss all the action from Pak players in IPL. Whatever may be the political reasons and all those unwanted things happening between 2 countries, sports must be kept away from these political things.

I still remember those Indo Pak matches used to happen in Sharjah and the rivalry between Sachin Tendular and Saeed Anwar, Auqib Javed and India batsmen, Saurav Ganguly's medium pace bowling and his wicket taking abilities. Oh, those were nice days.

Absolutely right...Cricket must be kept away from these political things. Hope two countries forget their political problems and play together again.
