Quetta Gladiators: Despite going close to the finish line in the record-breaking match against Multan Sultans, they fell short.

Karachi Kings: Out of playoff race, Karachi Kings will now aim to finish in 5th spot ahead of Quetta. They face table-topper Lahore Qalandars and a win will guarantee them the 5th spot. It has been a disappointing campaign with just two wins to show for.
PSL 2023 Format: The teams will play each other in a double round-robin format in the league stage. The final group stage match is scheduled for March 12, while the playoffs begin on March 15.
Since the home venues for Quetta and Peshawar are not ready to host high-profile matches, these teams will miss out on playing in front of their fans.
The Pakistan cricket team captain Babar Azam will lead Peshawar Zalmi this season, after his move from Multan Sultans. Other star players like Mohammad Rizwan, Shaheen Shah Afridi, Alex Hales and Kieron Pollard will also make an appearance in PSL this season.
