The Pakistan Super League (PSL) has produced some of the biggest totals in T20 cricket since the first edition in 2016. A team has passed 250 five times, and all five have come since March 2023.
The record belongs to Quetta Gladiators, who made 263/3 against Islamabad United in Rawalpindi on 7 May 2025. Rilee Rossouw scored 104 off 46 balls and Hasan Nawaz 100 not out off 45, the only time two batters have made hundreds in the same PSL innings. Quetta won by 109 runs. It is also the highest total by any team in a men’s T20 played in Pakistan.
Here are the highest team totals in PSL history, complete to the end of PSL 2026, whose final was played on 3 May 2026.
