The Pakistan Super League (PSL) 2025 is almost here and while everyone is hyped about the big-hitters and boundary-fests, let us not forget the guys who break partnerships and turn games on their heads: the bowlers. This season’s bowling line-ups are stacked and every team has got a match-winner with the ball who can wreck a batting order on their day.
Whether it’s raw pace, deceptive spin or pinpoint yorkers, these bowlers know how to do the job. Let’s take a look at one bowler from each PSL team who looks most likely to end up with the most wickets in PSL 2025.

Naseem Shah is pure electricity with the new ball. With that pace and ability to swing it both ways, he is a threat to any batter in the world. He already has a fifer under his belt in the PSL and an economy of 7.86 is impressive for someone who bowls in the powerplay and at the death.
He is looking fitter than ever and with Rawalpindi as his home ground this season, expect him to rattle stumps regularly.

Hasan Ali is no stranger to the big stage. With 108 PSL wickets, he is among the top wicket-takers in the league’s history. His strength? Unpredictability and experience. Whether it's a slower ball, a sharp bouncer, or that classic celebration after a breakthrough, Hasan brings the full package.
Karachi’s pitches suit him, and he knows how to pick key wickets at the right time. Moreover, he was in stunning form in the recent National T20 Cup where he finished as the leading wicket taker with 13 scalps in 4 innings at an average of 10.38 and an economy of 8.43. Expect him to lead Karachi’s charge once again.

Despite Shaheen Afridi being in the squad, it is Haris Rauf who is likely to rule the wicket-taking charts because of his recent run. When Rauf is in form, bails fly and batters panic. He might go for a few runs but he always comes back with wickets. His 66 wickets in 57 matches show how crucial he’s been to Lahore’s bowling attack.
His economy is a touch high at 9.10 but Haris Rauf makes up for it with raw pace and death-over magic. He is coming into PSL 2025 in red-hot form and Lahore fans know he is capable of single-handedly changing games.

Usama Mir was the top wicket-taker with 24 scalps in 12 matches last season, and he is not slowing down. With a deadly googly and clever flight, he traps even the best in the business.
His PSL numbers speak volumes: a strike rate of 15.8 and an average of 21.67 show he is not just consistent but dangerous. Multan will again rely on his wizardry in the middle overs.

Mohammad Ali was the surprise package of PSL 2024, finishing as the second-highest wicket-taker in the tournament. He clocked 19 wickets in just 12 games for Multan Sultans and now finds himself in a new jersey — Peshawar Zalmi. That strike rate of 13.57 is pure gold in T20 cricket, and his average of 18.63 shows he wasn’t just picking wickets, he was doing it economically too.
He bowls with purpose, hits the right lengths, and can make things happen with the new ball. Zalmi were smart to grab him — he’s young, in form, and hungry. If he brings the same fire this season, Ali could very well end up as Zalmi’s leading wicket-taker, and who knows, maybe even the Purple Cap holder.

Abrar Ahmed brings mystery to the table. With his unorthodox style and variety, he is a tough nut to crack for most batters. In just 17 matches, he has already grabbed 22 wickets with an impressive economy under 8 out of which 16 came in 10 games last year as he finished third in the list of most wickets in PSL 2024.
He might not have big four- or five-wicket hauls yet but he is consistent and deadly in the middle overs. Quetta will bank on him to choke the opposition and create breakthroughs when the pressure is on.
