Lahore Qalandars PSL Records and Stats

From a slow start to three PSL titles

The first four seasons were lean. Their win counts read 2, 3, 2 and 3 from 2016 through 2019. The turn arrived in 2020: 7 victories and a first final, which they lost.

The title years look alike in the table: 8 wins and 4 defeats in 2022, 9 wins and 4 defeats in 2023, and 8 wins and 4 defeats again in 2025. In between came 2024, the worst season in the data, with just 1 win in 9 games.

The 2026 season ended level at 5 wins and 5 defeats. The latest result was a 6 wicket win over Peshawar Zalmi on 25 Apr 2026 in front of a home crowd at the Gaddafi Stadium, which came straight after Karachi Kings had beaten them at the same ground. The wider PSL records page shows how these three titles compare with the other franchises.

Head to head: Karachi Kings are the problem

Lahore are close to level with most of the league. They lead Quetta Gladiators 12 to 10, are tied 11 to 11 with both Islamabad United and Multan Sultans, and trail Peshawar Zalmi 10 to 12.

One rivalry stands out. In the Lahore Qalandars vs Karachi Kings matches, Karachi have 16 victories to Lahore’s 7 from 24 games. That is more than twice as many defeats as wins, and the gap is bigger than against any other side.

The rest are much tighter: see the Islamabad United head to head and the Multan Sultans head to head, both dead level. Note that the season table shows newer opponents in 2026, such as Rawalpindiz and Hyderabad Kingsmen, which do not yet appear in the head to head list.

Fakhar Zaman, Shaheen Shah Afridi and the record totals

Fakhar Zaman towers over the Lahore batting list: 3,365 runs, 3 centuries and 27 half-centuries from 105 knocks. Abdullah Shafique is a long way back in second with 1,313. Fakhar also leads the six list with 140, almost three times the 52 of Shafique, and 15 match awards have come his way.

Lahore’s record individual score belongs to him too: 115 from 57 deliveries versus Islamabad United, played at Rawalpindi on 9 Mar 2023. He owns five of the top 10 innings.

Shaheen Shah Afridi’s 138 victims, at 20.07 each, leave Haris Rauf (95) a distant second. Nobody has bettered Shaheen’s 5/4, taken versus Multan Sultans on 9 Mar 2018. Rashid Khan has the best economy in the list, 6.14 from 28 matches, along with 44 wickets at 15.48.

Peshawar Zalmi feature at both ends of the totals table: Lahore piled up 241/3 against them at home on 26 Feb 2023, yet crashed for 59 versus the same side in Dubai on 12 Feb 2017.
