241 Target chased by Quetta Gladiators in Rawalpindi. It is the highest successful target chase in the PSL, surpassing Multan Sultans' 207 against Lahore Qalandars in 2022. The chase by Gladiators is also the fourth-highest successful target chase in T20 history.
243 for 2 Gladiators' total against Peshawar Zalmi, the third-highest team total in the PSL. Islamabad United's 247 for 2 against Zalmi in 2021 is the highest PSL total, followed by 245 for 3 by Multan Sultans against Gladiators in 2022. Zalmi's 240 for 2 on Wednesday is the fifth highest total in the league and the highest by the franchise.
145* Jason Roy's score against Zalmi is the highest individual score in the Pakistan Super League. The previous highest was an unbeaten 127 by Colin Ingram for Karachi Kings against Quetta Gladiators in 2019.
27 Innings Roy needed to complete 1000 runs in the PSL. He is now the fastest batter to the milestone, bettering Shan Masood, who needed 29 innings. Roy is also one of the three batters to score multiple hundreds in the PSL.
44 Balls Roy needed for his hundred, the second fastest by any player in the PSL. The fastest is by Rilee Rossouw, who scored a century in just 43 balls for Multan Sultans against the Gladiators last year. Babar Azam, who took 60 balls for his hundred, recorded the joint-slowest of the league.
88 for 1 Gladiators' score in the powerplay. It is the second highest powerplay total for any team in the PSL, behind United's 97 for 0 against Gladiators in 2021. The Quetta Gladiators raced to 100-run mark in 6.5 overs, the second fastest team 100 in the PSL behind United's in 6.2 overs against Gladiators.
8 Hundreds for Babar Azam in T20 cricket, the joint-second-most by any batter. Only Chris Gayle is ahead of Babar with 22 centuries, while Aaron Finch, Michael Klinger and David Warner, all have eight tons each.
162 Partnership runs between Babar and Saim Ayub for the first wicket, the second highest stand by any pair in the PSL. The highest is 176 by Karachi Kings' opening pair of Sharjeel Khan and Babar, against the Islamabad United in 2021.
483 Runs between Zalmi and Gladiators on Wednesday, the highest aggregate for a PSL match. The previous highest was 479 runs between Islamabad United and Gladiators in 2021. The aggregate of 483 runs by Zalmi and Gladiators is also the highest for a T20 match in Asia.
