PSL vs IPL: Which league has the deadliest bowling attack in 2025?

The 18th edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) and the 10th edition of the Pakistan Super League (PSL) are currently underway, running simultaneously. Both leagues, hailing from neighbouring countries, boast a massive fan base and feature a diverse set of international players.

This season, the bowling performances in both tournaments have been exceptional, with several records being broken. Bowlers have played a crucial role in their teams’ victories, whether by restricting runs in key overs or by consistently taking wickets to keep the opposition batters in check.

Here are the five deadliest bowling attacks between PSL and IPL:

5. Prasidh Krishna and Hasan Ali

Right-arm pacer Prasidh Krishna, representing Gujarat Titans (GT), is currently the leading wicket-taker in IPL 2025. Initially introduced as an Impact Player, the 29-year-old quickly cemented his place as a key bowler for the GT by consistently delivering breakthroughs. The right-handed bowler has claimed 16 wickets in eight matches at an impressive average of 14.12. The Indian cricketer’s best performance came against Delhi Capitals (DC), where he recorded figures of 4 for 41.

In the ongoing PSL 2025, right-arm fast bowler Hasan Ali has been a standout performer for Karachi Kings. The experienced pacer has taken 10 wickets in just five matches at an average of 16.00. His standout spell came against Lahore Qalandars, where he picked up four wickets at an economy rate of 7.00. His contributions have been vital in Karachi Kings securing the second position in the points table.
