Background
After the success of holding the previous tournament's final at the Gaddafi Stadium,[8] the PCB decided to play eight games of PSL 3 in Pakistan.[9] In addition the PCB chairman Najam Sethi confirmed there would be a sixth team being added in the 2018 edition,[10] with the idea having previously been rejected in 2017.[11] There was much interest in what the sixth team would be, with the PCB shortlisting Hyderabad, Dera Murad Jamali, FATA, Faisalabad and Multan.[12] In the end, the winning party was Multan with Schön Properties paying $5.2 million a year.[13]
The Closing ceremony took place at National Stadium, Karachi, on 25 March ahead of the final. The ceremony was hosted by Bilal Ashraf, with Pakistani singers Ali Zafar, Shehzad Roy, Strings, Aima Baig and Farhan Saeed performing live in front of 33,000 people in the stadium.[17][18][19]
The 2018 PSL featured six team franchises, with five teams that appeared in previous seasons; and a new team based in Multan.
The player draft for the 2018 season was held in Lahore on 12 November 2017. 501 players, including both Pakistani and international players, were divided into five different categories. Each franchise was allowed to pick a maximum of seven foreign players in their squads, which could have a maximum of 21 members.[20][21][22]
Like the 2016 and 2017 seasons, most of the matches of 2018 season were played in the UAE. However, the playoffs and final took place in Pakistan; they were played in Lahore and Karachi.[24] Each foreign cricketer who played matches in the country was paid an extra US$10,000 for each of these matches.[25][26][27][28]
The International Cricket Council security team visited National Stadium, Karachi, on 23 October, to ensure its condition.[29][30][31] The chairman of the PCBNajam Sethi was quoted on 22 November saying "that the renovation of stadium will be completed in February 2018, to host the PSL Final." The tickets for the final were sold out within 3 hours.[32]
The league was promoted on social media by the hashtag #HBLPSL 2018, due to its three-year contract (2016–18) with HBL Pakistan for title sponsorship.[1] Also, the six teams are promoted by #AbKhel6Ka.[33] It was also promoted by #DilSeJaanLagaDe, the hashtag for the league's official anthem by Ali Zafar.[34][35]
The league stage of the tournament ran from 22 February to 16 March 2018.[36]

Peshawar batted first and, despite losing a wicket in the second over, went on to score 151/6 with Mohammed Hafeez top-scoring with 59 runs. The Sultans chased the score down, losing just 3 wickets, giving them a 7 wicket win, and winning on their PSL debut.[37] The first double-header of the group stage saw wins for Karachi and Multan by 19 and 43 runs respectively.[38][39] The Multan win brought up an interesting stat which was that both of the first two PSL hat tricks took place in Dubai, on a Friday, under Shoaib Malik's captaincy, against the Lahore Qalandars.[40] The next four games were all one-sided; in the first the defending champions Peshawar restricted Islamabad to 149/9 from Islamabad's 20 overs, to get their first win of the tournament with Umaid Asif taking a 4-fer (4 wicket haul) on debut for Zalmi.[41] On the same day, the Quetta Gladiators quickly chased down 119 inside 14 overs against the Lahore Qalandars.[42] In the sixth game, the Multan Sultans' winning run came to an end against Islamabad United.

Week 2
The second week began dramatically, with Peshawar having a batting collapse to fall to 125/5 in their innings against the Quetta Gladiators in Sharjah. In next the Zalmi captain Daren Sammy, who was earlier taken off with an injury, came out and hit two sixes and a four to get Zalmi a win.[47] After game 11 between Multan and Karachi in Sharjah was abandoned at the toss,[48] the other game on the day was also hosted at Sharjah. The game between Lahore and Islamabad was the first in PSL history at that point, to finish with a super over as both teams were tied on 121. In Lahore's over they finished with 15/1, while in Islamabad's over they got 19 winning the game with a last ball 6.[49] The game after was more straightforward, with an Imran Tahir hat-trick downing Quetta and giving Multan the win.[50] The game after made history as the first ever 10 wicket win in the PSL,[51] as Peshawar Zalmi chased down 101 without losing a wicket.[52] The next day, Islamabad United beat Karachi Kings by 8 wickets with help from a Luke Ronchi 71.[53] On the same day, a Sohaib Maqsood* carried the Multan Sultans' to another win against Peshawar Zalmi, this time by 19 runs.[54] The day after Umar Gul rolled back the years taking 6/24 for the Multan Sultans', but the effort was in vain as the then Pakistan under 19 captainHasan Khan hit a last over 6 to give Quetta a 2 wicket win.[55] The last day of week 2 saw a double-header, with both games being played at Dubai. In the first game a Luke Ronchi 77 helped Islamabad beat Lahore by 6 wickets,[56] while in the second game Quetta beat Karachi by 67 runs.[57] This was at the time the biggest win by runs in PSL history.[58]
Week 3

In the end though despite 73 of 47 from Kieron Pollard, Islamabad won by 33 runs meaning that they and Quetta both advanced to the playoffs.[64] In game 26, Lahore continued their winning run against Quetta thanks to 94 of 50 from Fakhar Zaman.[65] The next day, Peshawar beat Karachi helped by 75 by Kamran Akmal and 3/17 from Liam Dawson keeping Peshawar in the tournament.[66] Islamabad continued their winning run in game 28, ensuring that they finished at the top of the table by beating Quetta by 6 wickets.[67]
