The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has issued a legal notice to South African cricketer Corbin Bosch after he withdrew from the Pakistan Super League (PSL) to play for the Mumbai Indians as an additional player in the Indian Premier League (IPL). The schedules of the PSL and IPL are overlapping for the first time, causing unexpected conflicts regarding player availability.

Bosch's PSL Commitment and IPL Move

Bosch was picked up by Peshawar Zalmi in the Diamond category of the PSL 2025 Players Draft, which took place in Lahore on January 13. But just a few days ago, he was named in the Mumbai Indians squad as an injury replacement for Lizaad Williams.

Responding to this, the PCB sent a legal notice to Bosch by his agent, requesting him to clarify his PSL withdrawal. The board has also outlined what would happen in case of his contract breach and is awaiting a response within a fixed timeframe.

PSL and IPL Clash for the First Time

Ever since its inception in 2016, the PSL has been played during February-March. But because of Pakistan's international games and Champions Trophy 2025, the tournament was forced to be realigned in April-May, clashing with the IPL for the very first time.

Due to this shift in scheduling, many foreign players who remained unsold in the IPL auction signed up with PSL franchises later on. Bosch was among them, but his decision to quit the league at the last minute has now created a controversy.

What's Next?

Bosch's reaction to the legal notice will be pivotal in deciding the PCB's course of action. His case could also serve as a precedent for future conflicts between leagues, since both tournaments battle for the best international players.

The question that this situation brings to mind is this: Should players respect their PSL contracts, or should they be allowed to change leagues if a better option presents itself?

ISL vs PES Match Preview

The ticket to the grand final is up for grabs as Peshawar Zalmi take on Islamabad United in a second Qualifier at National Stadium. Multan Sultans defeated Peshawar Zalmi with a competent performance, exposing several flaws in their batting and bowling units. The men from Peshawar, who have a second chance at the final, will hope to make it count by putting in a team effort with both bat and ball. Not relying too heavily on Captain Babar and having several batsmen chip in with valuable contributions is critical for them to challenge a team. They’ll have their work cut out against Team Islamabad, who defeated Quetta Gladiators in the knockout round despite some blunders that exposed their soft underbelly.

Considering the team combination, Peshawar Zalmi is expected to win this match.

PES vs MUL Match Preview

The first game of the 2024 Pakistan Super League play-offs gets underway on Thursday evening with Peshawar Zalmi taking on Multan Sultans at the National Stadium Karachi. These two sides finished in the top two places in the group stage with Multan Sultans finishing one point above Peshawar Zalmi. Multan Sultans qualified for the knockout stage after their win in Match 19 and then suffered two narrow defeats against Islamabad United and Peshawar Zalmi. However, they were back to their best with a comprehensive win to end the group stage. Peshawar Zalmi come into this Qualifier after wins over Multan Sultans, Quetta Gladiators and Karachi Kings from their last three matches. They have built up a good amount of momentum.

Karachi Kings have won two of their last three games, including a narrow victory over the bottom-ranked Lahore Qalandars in Match 26. Peshawar Zalmi were too strong for Quetta Gladiators in Match 25, and we expect Babar Azam’s team to bring a lot of confidence into this game. They will also be looking for revenge after losing to the Karachi Kings earlier in the season.

QUE vs PES Match Preview

On March 8th, Match 25 of the 2024 Pakistan Super League will be played in Rawalpindi between Peshawar Zalmi and Quetta Gladiators. Zalmi has won four of their eight games and has nine points, the same as the Gladiators, who have played one fewer match. Peshawar Zalmi won a high-scoring thriller against Multan Sultans in their most recent game, and they are currently well positioned in the table. However, this appears to be another difficult fixture. Zalmi will need to be at their best once more in this game. Quetta Gladiators struggled with the bat against Karachi Kings, being dismissed for only 118 runs. This is an area where they need to improve in this match.

QUE vs PES Probable Winners:

Both teams come into this match with one win, one loss and one abandonment from their last three games but are still in the top three positions in the table. We are predicting a close game but Peshawar Zalmi have top players in top form and we are backing the likes of Aamer Jamal and Babar Azam to take them to victory in this match. Considering the team combination, Peshawar Zalmi is expected to win this match.

Asif Ali, the Pakistan middle-order batter, showcased remarkable fielding prowess in the ongoing season of the Pakistan Super League (PSL). During the clash between Peshawar Zalmi and Multan Sultans, Ali pulled off a stunning catch at the boundary ropes, adding to the excitement of the match.

In the intense encounter held in Rawalpindi on Tuesday, March 5th, Peshawar Zalmi secured a narrow four-run victory over Multan Sultans. Led by Babar Azam, the team successfully defended a formidable total of 204 runs. Babar’s exceptional batting performance earned him the title of ‘Player of the Match,’ contributing significantly to his team’s triumph.

The Spectacular Boundary Catch by Asif Ali

In the 12th over of Multan Sultan’s run-chase, Aamer Jamal delivered a short-length ball, prompting Dawid Malan to attempt a pull shot that didn’t quite clear the field. As the ball headed towards square leg, Asif Ali positioned himself strategically.

With remarkable agility, Asif Ali soared at the boundary ropes to execute a breathtaking catch, ending Malan’s innings at 19 runs off 19 balls. Demonstrating exceptional skill, Ali completed the catch before landing gracefully within the playing area, earning accolades from both fans and teammates, notably Babar Azam.

Babar Azam’s Team Advances to Third Position in Points Standings

Peshawar Zalmi demonstrated dominance with the bat as they chose to bat first against the Multan Sultans. Babar Azam spearheaded the innings with a remarkable 64 runs from 40 deliveries, ably assisted by Saim Ayub’s explosive 46 off just 22 balls, highlighted by five sixes and three boundaries.

Babar Azam and Saim Ayub formed a formidable partnership, adding 84 runs in just 36 balls, laying a solid foundation for Peshawar Zalmi. Haseebullah Khan contributed 31 runs off 20 balls, and Rovman Powell remained unbeaten with 23 runs off 15 deliveries, boosting the team’s total to 204/5 in 20 overs.

Multan Sultans faced a challenging start, losing Mohammad Rizwan early on after his brisk 32 off 24 deliveries. Despite Iftikhar Ahmed’s explosive 60 off 27 balls and Chris Jordan’s quickfire 30 off 12, Multan fell short of the target.

Usama Mir was the standout performer among Multan Sultans’ bowlers, claiming three wickets for 32 runs. England pacer Chris Jordan also made a notable contribution with two wickets for 33 runs.

Aamer Jamal emerged as the standout bowler for Peshawar Zalmi, taking two crucial wickets for 36 runs in his four overs. Naveen ul Haq and Mehran Mumtaz claimed one wicket each in the defense of the target.

Despite the loss, Multan Sultans maintain their lead in the points table with six victories in eight matches, boasting a net run rate of +0.967. Peshawar Zalmi’s recent win secures their fourth victory of the season, placing them third in the standings with a net run rate of -0.625.

During the Islamabad United and Peshawar Zalmi clash in the ongoing Pakistan Super League 2024 (PSL 2024), a heartening interaction unfolded between Colin Munro and a young ball boy on Monday, March 4th.

The touching moment occurred when a six was struck, and the ball boy attempted to catch it but missed. Observing the disappointment on the youngster’s face, Colin Munro stepped in to offer some words of encouragement. With a gesture of disappointment himself, Munro expressed his empathy by placing a comforting arm around the boy.

Later in the match, the same ball boy redeemed himself with a remarkable catch, sparking jubilant scenes. In the 19th over of Zalmi’s innings, a delivery from Rumman Raees was dispatched towards backward square leg by Arif Yaqoob. Despite Munro’s attempt, he couldn’t reach the ball. However, the ball boy astoundingly grabbed the catch just inside the boundary line, prompting Munro to leap over him in celebration.

Despite conceding a six, Munro celebrated the ball boy’s catch with warmth, sharing a congratulatory hug for his exceptional effort.

In the game itself, Islamabad United halted Peshawar Zalmi’s three-match winning streak by defeating them by 29 runs. Batting first, Islamabad set a challenging total of 196/4 in 20 overs. Although the openers struggled, captain Shadab Khan’s spirited knock of 80 off 51 balls propelled the team. Additionally, contributions from Agha Salman, Jordan Cox, and Azam Khan proved vital.

In response, Peshawar Zalmi faltered, finishing at 167/9. Despite Aamer Jamal’s resilient 87 runs, Zalmi couldn’t recover from early setbacks, with their top three batsmen falling cheaply. Captain Babar Azam acknowledged the challenging situation but remained positive about his team’s efforts, emphasizing the unpredictability of cricket and the positives to take from their performance.

PES vs MUL Match Preview

Multan Sultans and Peshawar Zalmi face off in Match 21 of the 2024 Pakistan Super League on a Monday night in Rawalpindi. Islamabad has five points from six games, with Peshawar Zalmi two points ahead of them after the same number of fixtures. With their last match left without a ball being bowled, Multan Sultans will be determined to get back to the pitch and win again in this game. They have a poor recent track against Peshawar Zalmi, but they have a very good chance. Peshawar Zalmi did not look like losing any of their previous three games, but they must now begin another run of victories. They enter this game in third place on the table, but have the top two spots.

Top Picks – Lahore Qalandars

• Rassie van der Dussen- the tall right-handed top order batter comes into this game averaging 75 from six innings in this campaign.
• Sikandar Raza- we expect the Zimbabwean’s pace off spin bowling to be a good option for reducing the run-rate in Rawalpindi in this match.

Top Picks – Peshawar Zalmi

• Babar Azam- only Chris Gayle has hit more T20 hundreds than the 29 year old who was awarded Player of the Match after hitting 16 boundaries against Islamabad United.

LAH vs PES Probable Winners:

It is difficult to argue in favor of the Lahore Qalandars winning this match, especially after they were soundly defeated in their previous match. Although some individual players have produced strong performances, their team lacks depth, which is why they are still searching for their first victory of the season. Peshawar Zalmi’s batters and bowlers are in excellent form, and we expect them to win again in this game. Considering the team combination, Peshawar Zalmi is expected to win this match.
