History Made: Faheem Ashraf Joins the Elite 100-Wicket Club in PSL 11
The ongoing cricket season has just witnessed a massive Faheem Ashraf PSL 11 milestone at the National Bank Stadium. During a high-intensity match against the Hyderabad Kingsmen, the Islamabad United star officially became only the fifth bowler in the league’s history to claim 100 wickets. Consequently, he now joins an elite circle of bowling legends, including Shaheen Shah Afridi and his own captain, Shadab Khan.
A Record-Breaking Performance Faheem reached this legendary landmark in his 89th appearance. Although the night ended in a team defeat, his individual brilliance was undeniable. He took two crucial wickets during the game, proving once again why he is a cornerstone of the United pace attack. Furthermore, this achievement cements his legacy as one of the most reliable all-rounders in the tournament’s decade-long history.
Match Highlights: United vs. Kingsmen Despite the Faheem Ashraf PSL 11 milestone, Islamabad United struggled to defend a modest total of 153-9. Earlier in the day, Devon Conway and Mark Chapman provided some resistance with the bat, but the Kingsmen bowlers—led by debutant Asif Mehmood—kept the scoring in check. Later, Hyderabad’s captain Marnus Labuschagne steered the chase with a steady 61*, ensuring his side crossed the finish line with 11 balls to spare.
What This Means for Islamabad United While their winning streak has been snapped, the morale remains high thanks to these individual records. Currently, the race for the playoffs is heating up, and United will need Faheem’s clinical bowling more than ever. Therefore, fans are eager to see if this momentum will carry the team toward another title as the tournament enters its final stages.
