At top of the order Fakhar Zaman boasts a T20 strike rate of 141.43 and capable of dismantling any bowling attack on his given day but he needs to be consistent as some time he through his wicket away.
South African Rassie van der Dussen although not available for the full PSL season but he adds stability and experience with a T20 average of 36.13 and strike rate of 133.23. West Indian Shai Hope is another experience player but take some time to settle in and not a highly sought player in T20 cricket.
In middle order Sikandar Raza offers experience and power (strike rate of 149.18), the middle order might lack depth compared to other teams. Sahibzada Farhan is also in good form and displayed his potential in all domestic competitions and got a national call-up. Abdullah Shafique’s T20 record is promising, but he needs to translate domestic success to the PSL stage.
