Hasan Nawaz and Rilee Rossouw Create History in PSL 2025

In a high-octane Pakistan Super League (PSL) 2025 encounter, Quetta Gladiators produced a breathtaking batting display to leave their mark in the history books of the league. On a memorable Wednesday evening at Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium, Quetta Gladiators—led by skipper Saud Shakeel—unleashed a batting masterclass, racking up a record-breaking 263/3 in their 20 overs, marking the new all-time record for the highest team total in Pakistan Super League history.

This remarkable feat surpassed the previous highest PSL total of 262/3, set by Multan Sultans against the Gladiators at the very same venue during the 2023 season.

PSL’s Highest Team Totals Top 5:
263/3 – Quetta Gladiators vs Islamabad United, 2025

262/3 – Multan Sultans vs Quetta Gladiators (2023): This was the former record for the highest team total in PSL history, set at Rawalpindi during the eighth season.

253/8 – Quetta Gladiators vs Multan Sultans (2023): A powerful batting display by the Gladiators, also in 2023, securing a spot among the top team scores.

247/2 – Islamabad United vs Peshawar Zalmi (2021): Islamabad United displayed brilliant batting, dominating the 2021 clash with a fiery performance.

245/3 – Multan Sultans vs Quetta Gladiators (2022): Multan once again stamped their authority with a massive total in 2022.

Century Storm: Rossouw and Hasan Nawaz Steal the Show
The record total was driven by scorching centuries from two outstanding batsmen — Rilee Rossouw and Hasan Nawaz — who both scored three figures in the same innings, a first in PSL history.

Rossouw contributed a regal knock, blasting 104 runs from a mere 46 deliveries, interspersed with 14 boundaries and 6 sixes. At the other end, Hasan Nawaz lit up the innings with an unbeaten 100 from just 45 deliveries, peppered with 4 boundaries and 9 towering sixes in a sensational show of aggressive stroke play.

This is the first time in the PSL that two players from the same franchise have achieved a century each in an innings, and this is a really unique and exceptional feat.

Rilee Rossouw Equals Rare Franchise Record
Besides the team’s landmark, Rossouw added a personal record to his PSL legacy. With his most recent hundred, he became just the second PSL player, following Sharjeel Khan, to score centuries for two franchises — further establishing himself as a league legend.

Looking Ahead
Quetta Gladiators’ dominant display has not only improved their morale but also enhanced team totals in T20 cricket. With momentum and form guiding their T20 campaign, the side seems ready for a spirited run at the end of PSL 10.
