Simon Doull, a former New Zealand cricketer turned commentator is now a member of the PSL 2023 expert panel.

Despite Babar achieving his first PSL century against Quetta Gladiators, Doull openly criticised him.

Doull stated that Babar should have accelerated his innings rather than slowing the game down when he reached the three-figure mark.

In the video clip posted by Cricket Pakistan, Doull criticised Azam in no uncertain terms for his vindictive plays.

In the past, Babar has also come under fire for his selfish performance, which many experts have openly chastised for playing for himself rather than the team.

When it comes to the game’s tempo between Quetta Gladiators and Peshwar Zalmi, the former won after chasing 240 runs with ease.

The run chase was excellent from the get-go, and when Gladiators finished it off, it became third highest run chase in the history of PSL.

When Zalmi started batting first, they had a solid opening 162 runs stand between Saim Ayub and Babar Azam who were rollicking from the ball one and didn’t let opposition Bowlers to  settle down.

Saim Ayub has been the new emerging star of the tournament with his finesse shot making and effortless sixes, the youngster has become the biggest talking point of PSL.

The moment, Ayub bundled out, it was all down to Azam to ensure that Zalmi reach towards brilliant target later he was complemented by Rovman Povell and eventually scored 240 runs.

When Gladiators, came out to chase Jason Roy was brilliant at the top who scored unbeaten 145 runs complemented by Mohammad Hafeez with his unbeaten 41 runs and small effort by Will Smeed by 26 runs helped them to earn victory in 18.2 Overs.
