Ten wins from 11 games and a second title made 2026 the best year in these Peshawar Zalmi PSL records. Zalmi first won the trophy in 2017 and lost three finals in between, in 2018, 2019 and 2021.
Since Feb 2016 they have played 124 PSL matches, winning 68 and losing 54, plus a tie and a no result. The tables cover every season, the record against each rival, Zalmi’s best batters and bowlers, and their biggest and smallest totals.
Five Finals in Eleven Seasons
Zalmi win 55.7% of their decided PSL games, and they have reached the final in five of their 11 seasons. The first run was the strongest: champions in 2017, then runners-up in 2018 and 2019, with eight wins in 2019 alone. They lost a third final in 2021.
The years after that were flat. Zalmi won six of 12 in 2023, six of 11 in 2024 and only four of 10 in 2025, the same low mark they hit in 2020.
Then came 2026. They won ten games and lost one, to Lahore Qalandars on 25 Apr 2026. Their wins included a 159-run win over Karachi Kings and a 118-run victory against Quetta Gladiators, both at the National Stadium Karachi. The season ended with a 5-wicket win over Hyderabad Kingsmen at the Gaddafi Stadium on 3 May 2026. For every PSL champion, see the PSL records page.
