On March 5, Zalmi beat Sultans by a small margin of 4 runs.


Thanks to the victory, Zalmi jumped to the top of the PSL 2024 points table with 4 wins from 8 matches. Sultans, despite the loss to Zalmi, still lead the table with 12 points. In 8 matches, they have lost just two and managed to win 6.


Babar is currently leading the batting charts after accumulating 394 runs in just 7 matches at an unbelievable average of 65.67. Rizwan, is on fourth spot, in the list of batters with most runs in PSL 2024 with 277 runs in 8 matches.


This year, Babar is quite pumped about his team's chances in this season. Zalmi have been on and off as far as their form is concern but Baba has looked superb so far in the tournament with the bat. Not to forget, he had a forgettable 2023, getting out for one low score after the other. In Australia too, he could not find much form with the bat.In T20Is vs New Zealand, he started getting his groove back and in this season of PSL, the Pakistani batter has hit form.
