The playoff equation in the Pakistan Super League (PSL) 2025 took another twist as the clash between Quetta Gladiators and Lahore Qalandars ended in a no-result at Gaddafi Stadium, with a dust storm and persistent rain forcing officials to call off play without a single innings being completed, leaving a mark on the latest standings.
Both sides were awarded a point each, a result that neither team will mind too much. Qalandars continue to occupy the second spot, while Gladiators are not far behind, equal on points but below due to an inferior net run rate although they have a game in hand.
In the brief action that took place before the interruption, Gladiators asked Qalandars to bat first. The decision paid dividends immediately as the red-hot Khurram Shahzad removed Fakhar Zaman before Mohammad Naeem led Lahore’s recovery with his first 50 of the PSL. The Qalandars were 111/3 in 11.3 overs before the adverse weather conditions interrupted play.
| Position | Team | Matches | Wins | Losses | No Result | Points | Net Run Rate |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Islamabad United | 6 | 5 | 1 | 0 | 10 | 1.176 |
| 2 | Lahore Qalandars | 8 | 4 | 3 | 1 | 9 | 1.110 |
| 3 | Quetta Gladiators | 7 | 4 | 2 | 1 | 9 | 1.034 |
| 4 | Karachi Kings | 7 | 4 | 3 | 0 | 8 | 0.445 |
| 5 | Peshawar Zalmi | 6 | 2 | 4 | 0 | 4 | -0.847 |
| 6 | Multan Sultans | 8 | 1 | 7 | 0 | 2 | -2.597 |
With PSL standings getting tighter as the group stage slowly comes to an end, every point matters. The washout also adds more weight to the remaining matches involving Karachi Kings and Peshawar Zalmi, who are the likeliest candidates to be jostling for the final playoff spot.
As the league table compresses, net run rate may play a decisive role in determining which four teams advance to the knockouts and in what order. PSL 2025 continues to serve up unpredictability with every passing day, keeping everyone at the edge of their seats.
PSL 2025 will continue tomorrow with Islamabad United taking on Peshawar Zalmi.
