The third week of the 2026 Pakistan Super League (PSL 11) brought a clear shift in the balance of power. Peshawar Zalmi owned the spotlight with their batters continuing to pile up runs and their bowlers repeatedly deciding matches under pressure.
Babar Azam slips into the Week 3 list because his week was quieter by his own standards, but still good enough to keep him firmly in the conversation. The Peshawar Zalmi captain remains among the tournament’s leading run-scorers, with 212 runs in four innings at this stage.
Nahid Rana has quietly become one of the most damaging quicks in the competition. He has not always been the first name mentioned after Peshawar wins, but his pace and control have kept batters uncomfortable throughout this stretch.
The Multan Sultans seamer remains one of the most dependable new-ball and death-over options in the tournament. By the end of this phase, Siddle had six wickets and one of the strongest bowling impact numbers in PSL 11. He still finds ways to keep his side in the fight.
Shan Masood rises into the rankings after giving Multan Sultans useful middle-order assurance during a week where several matches were decided by composure rather than chaos. He may not have produced the tournament’s loudest innings, but he made his runs in situations that mattered.
Hasan Nawaz continues to strengthen his case as one of the most watchable young batters in the tournament. After showing flashes earlier, Week 3 kept him in the spotlight as a batter capable of changing tempo quickly and giving Quetta Gladiators genuine attacking value.
Iftikhar Ahmed storms into the top five because his value to Peshawar Zalmi now stretches across every department. He has become one of those players who always seems to show up when a game starts tilting.
Arafat Minhas drops a little after topping the rankings last week, but there is no collapse here. He remains one of the most valuable all-rounders in PSL 11 and still sits near the top of the tournament’s total-impact charts.
Sahibzada Farhan stays in the top three because he continues to define Multan Sultans’ batting identity. Even without a massive score late in the week, he remains one of the tournament’s premier run-makers and one of the few openers who can alter the tone of a game from the start.
Sufyan Muqeem has been a weekly problem for opposition batters, and Week 3 only tightened his grip on the tournament. The left-arm spinner has turned control into a weapon, and he now looks like the bowler most capable of changing a match in a single spell.
Kusal Mendis takes the No. 1 spot after a week that was too forceful to ignore. The Peshawar Zalmi wicketkeeper-batter has not just scored runs; he has dictated games, overwhelmed attacks, and set the tempo for the best side in the competition.
