10 Batters Scoring Most Fifties in the History of PSL

In a T20 competition such as the PSL, it is exceedingly difficult to score the most fifties with a respectable strike rate. This is due to the fact that no other league can match the PSL’s bowling standards.

These half-centuries and centuries were scored by opening batters and the reason for this is straightforward: in the T20 format of the league, the top-order batsman gets more opportunities to bat and has more time to establish the lower-order batter. Let’s find out the list of batsmen who scored the most half-centuries in Pakistan Super League history.
