🏏 Final Verdict – Who Looks Strongest?

On paper:

But cricket is unpredictable.

Sometimes the team that looks weakest on paper ends up lifting the trophy. Team unity, chemistry, captaincy, and match-day performance matter more than star power.

PSL 11 promises high competition — and only time will decide who truly is the strongest.
