PESHAWAR (Web Desk) – The Pakistan Super League has announced the introduction of Pashto-language commentary for the first time in its history, marking a significant development aimed at expanding the league’s reach among regional audiences.

Meanwhile, the competition continues to gather pace with high-stakes fixtures underway. Peshawar Zalmi are set to face Islamabad United in a crucial qualifier, with a place in the final at stake. A victory in the encounter will secure Zalmi’s direct entry into the title clash, while a defeat would still leave the side with another opportunity through the eliminator stage.
The final of PSL 11 is scheduled to be held on May 3 at Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore, where the top two teams of the tournament will compete for the championship title.
