The Baloch Liberation Army claims to have conducted 27 operations in Balochistan, resulting in 42 Pakistani military personnel killed and one captured. Attacks included IED blasts, ambushes, and raids targeting security forces and pro-government individuals. The group also reported three of its fighters died. This follows a recent deadly attack on a Pakistan Coast Guard vessel.

Babar Azam finally reached a century in the Pakistan Super League 2026. He scored an unbeaten 100 off 52 balls for Peshawar Zalmi against quetta Gladiators. This century ended a long wait for the star batter. He also became the fastest to 12,000 T20 runs. Peshawar Zalmi won the match by 118 runs.

Pakistan skipper Babar Azam drew social media ire after failing to capitalize on a free hit during a PSL 2026 match. A fan's humorous reaction went viral. Meanwhile, Peshawar Zalmi secured an 8-wicket victory over quetta Gladiators. Babar Azam anchored the chase with an unbeaten 71, guiding his team to a comfortable win.

The clip surfaced after Zalmi’s match in the ongoing 11th edition of the Pakistan Super League and showed a light exchange during a public interaction. "Aaj saari nazar utaar denge," a person is heard saying in the video.

His frustration, shown by slamming his bat, highlights the defending champions' inconsistent campaign and mounting pressure as they fight for playoff contention.

Babar Azam achieved a remarkable T20 milestone, becoming the fourth player globally and the first Pakistani to score 100 half-centuries.

Former Pakistan all-rounder Azhar Mahmood defended Babar Azam, deeming it unfair to single him out for strike-rate issues in T20 cricket, arguing Pakistan lacks ultra-aggressive batters in the format. Mahmood emphasised that Babar sets the platform for others, and realistic expectations are needed, as the country doesn't possess consistently high-strike-rate players.

The comments date back to last year, when Imad spoke about Raza’s late arrival for the PSL 10 final at Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore. Raza had taken a partial leave from the Qalandars squad to play a one-off Test for Zimbabwe against England in Nottingham.

Rossouw is part of the quetta Gladiators in the ongoing PSL 2026. "Both leagues (IPL and PSL) have their pros and cons. IPL is a very long tournament, and Pakistan (Super League) is a much more compact tournament where the competition is a lot more fierce," the left-handed batter said.

England all-rounder Moeen Ali will play in the 2026 Pakistan Super League instead of the Indian Premier League. At 38, Ali seeks more playing time and stability.
