Friends, 40 matches of the group stage of PSL 11 are over, and now it is time to talk about those heroes who are taking away the sleep of the batsmen with their speed and spinning balls. In cricket, it is said, "Batters win you matches, but bowlers win you tournaments." The same is visible in PSL 11 as well. Be it the Peshawar Zalmi or debutant Hyderabad Kingsmen, bowlers of every team have given their all this time. Let's see who will be crowned with the Maroon Cap (Fazal Mahmood Award).
Top 10 Wicket Takers: PSL 11 (2026 Group Stage)
| Rank | Player | Team | Matches | Wickets | Economy |
| 1 | Sufiyan Muqeem | Peshawar Zalmi | 9 | 19 | 7.47 |
| 2 | Shaheen Afridi | Lahore Qalandars | 10 | 16 | 7.86 |
| 3 | Hasan Ali | Karachi Kings | 9 | 15 | 9.27 |
| 4 | Shadab Khan | Islamabad United | 8 | 14 | 6.46 |
| 5 | Mohammad Ali | Hyderabad Kingsmen | 9 | 13 | 7.89 |
| 6 | Peter Siddle | Multan Sultans | 10 | 13 | 8.76 |
| 7 | Hunain Shah | Hyderabad Kingsmen | 7 | 12 | 8.70 |
| 8 | Iftikhar Ahmed | Peshawar Zalmi | 8 | 12 | 7.03 |
| 9 | Haris Rauf | Lahore Qalandars | 9 | 12 | 9.80 |
| 10 | Mohammad Amir | Rawalpindiz | 10 | 12 | 8.81 |
The biggest surprise of this season has been Peshawar Zalmi's Sufiyan Muqeem. This young left-arm spinner has made big teams dance to his tune. Taking 19 wickets in 9 matches is no small feat. Whenever Babar Azam is in trouble, he hands the ball to Sufiyan, and he takes the wicket.
Although Lahore Qalandars and Karachi Kings are out of the playoffs, their main bowlers did not accept defeat. Shaheen Afridi showed his class with 16 wickets, while Hasan Ali took wickets in tough moments for Karachi. Sadly, the journey of these two has now come to a halt, and their wicket tally will not increase.
Now the real competition is between Shadab Khan and Mohammad Ali.
Shadab Khan has not only taken 14 wickets, but his economy rate (6.90) is the best in the entire league. Meanwhile, Hyderabad Kingsmen's Mohammad Ali has bowled so well in the death overs that it has become difficult for the batsmen to score runs.
Mohammad Ali has a huge role in Hyderabad's comeback, and he could give Sufyan Muqeem a tough fight in the playoffs.
Now that the Qualifiers and Eliminators are about to begin, all eyes will be on Sufiyan Muqeem. Will he be able to maintain his lead, or will Shadab Khan take the lead? One thing is for sure: the PSL 11 trophy will be lifted by the team with the most disciplined bowling unit.
