The 2024 Pakistan Super League (referred to as HBL PSL 9 for sponsorship reasons) was the ninth season of the Pakistan Super League. Established by the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) in 2015 as a franchise Twenty20 cricket league, it was played between six teams in a double round robin and page playoff system. The season took place across four cities in Pakistan from 17 February to 18 March 2024.

The Lahore Qalandars, the two times defending champions, were eliminated in the group stage with last position. In the final, Islamabad United defeated Multan Sultans by 2 wickets, becoming first team to win the third title. A Sports was the official broadcaster for the season. Babar Azam and Usama Mir respectively achieved the awards for most runs and most wickets, while Shadab Khan was entitled Player of the Tournament.

Background

As the 2024 Pakistani general election and Ramadan 1445 AH were approaching, the Pakistan Cricket Board was concerned about the tournament. While they were planning to introduce two more teams into the league, they wanted to shift the tournament to the United Arab Emirates. However, the franchise owners opposed these plans citing the financial reasons. ^{[2] [3] [4]} There were proposals for the Arbab Niaz Stadium in Peshawar to host the matches but these did not succeed due to security issues. ^[5] On 6 February 2024, Mohsin Raza Naqvi was elected as the PCB chairman, who also took the responsibility to supervise the preparations for the tournament. ^{[6] [7]}

Controversies

Pro-Palestine remarks

Further information: Israel–Hamas war

Since KFC Pakistan was announced as a snack partner for the tournament on 17 February, people started criticizing the PCB in spite of allegations of genocide in the 2023 Israeli attack on Gaza, and hashtag #BoycottPSL became a social trending topic due to the original KFC's parent company Yum! Brands' affiliation with Pro-Israeli stances during the ongoing war. ^{[72] [73]} Afterwards, the spectators also complained that they were barred to carry the Pro-Palestinian banners in the stadium. ^[74]

Arrests of fans

See also: Arrest of Imran Khan

In another incident, fans were arrested for chanting slogans in support of Imran Khan during the matches. ^{[75] [76]} This was notable because Imran Khan, a former cricketer, former prime minister, and a prominent political leader, was in jail at that time, ^[77] and referring to him was prohibited on Pakistani television and media. ^[78]

DRS error

Hawk-Eye, the technology used for the Decision Review System (DRS) in cricket, made a human error during the match between Quetta Gladiators and Islamabad United. Inaccurate ball tracking data resulted in incorrect results, causing frustration among players and fans alike. ^[79]
