PSL teams dropped 124 catches in 30 matches, stats show

Pakistan Super League (PSL) teams have dropped a staggering 124 catches ahead of the 10th edition playoffs, raising serious concerns over fielding standards in the tournament.

According to available statistics, Multan Sultans dropped the most catches, with 25 during the league stage. The team, nonetheless, managed to win only one of their 10 matches.

Quetta Gladiators followed with 22 dropped catches, while Lahore Qalandars and Karachi Kings each dropped 20.

Defending champions Islamabad United weren’t immune to fielding errors either, giving 19 advantages to batters by dropping catches.

Peshawar Zalmi, led by Babar Azam, had the fewest dropped catches with 18, despite being eliminated in the second round.

This consistent fielding failure is not just a PSL issue, but could have serious implications for the Pakistan national team.

With many PSL players expected to feature in the Asia Cup and the ICC T20 World Cup 2026, such poor fielding performances could harm Pakistan’s chances in major international tournaments if not addressed in time.
