Best Bowling Figures in PSL History (All-Time Records) Ravi Bopara holds the record for the best bowling figures in Pakistan Super League history with 6 wickets for 16 runs against Lahore Qalandars in 2016. This performance, achieved while playing for Karachi Kings, remains unmatched in terms of wicket-taking efficiency. Bopara’s spell, which spanned four overs, was characterized by an economy rate of 4.00 and a complete dominance over the opposition. His ability to restrict Lahore’s scoring while consistently taking wickets across different phases of the innings made this spell a defining moment in PSL history. The second-best performance came from Faheem Ashraf, who took 6 wickets for 19 runs against Lahore Qalandars in 2019 while representing Islamabad United. Ashraf’s spell, which also spanned four overs, showcased his control and ability to maintain pressure throughout. His economy rate of 4.75 highlighted his skill in balancing wicket-taking with run prevention. Similarly, Umar Gul’s 6/24 against Quetta Gladiators in 2018, with an economy of 6.00, demonstrated his experience and tactical approach. These three six-wicket hauls are among the most impactful in PSL history, each contributing to a decisive team victory. Usama Mir’s 6/40 against Lahore Qalandars in 2024 stands out as the only six-wicket haul on this list with a double-digit economy rate. Despite the higher run tally, Mir’s ability to consistently take wickets and limit scoring made this performance notable. His spell, which occurred in the context of a high-scoring match, still managed to influence the outcome significantly. The tightest bowling performances in PSL history are represented by Shaheen Afridi’s 5/4 and Shahid Afridi’s 5/7. Shaheen’s 5/4 against Quetta Gladiators in 2016, with an economy rate of 1.#lahore_qalandars #karachi_kings #ravi_bopara #faheem_asraf #islamabad_united
