The PSL 2024 edition is about to begin in a few days and the excitement is taking over the fans. One of the contenders for the title (Islamabad United) will also be in the race. Therefore, we'll evaluate the top three players who could increase the prospect of their winning chances.

Islamabad United won the title in 2018, and the last time after that they have been struggling to even make it to the finals. However, these three players can turn the tide in favour of United.

Azam Khan

Azam Khan, the young dynamic wicket-keeper batsman, is all set to make his mark for Islamabad United in PSL 2024. In his short stint in PSL, he has scored 574 runs in 29 matches with an average of 22.08 and a strike rate of 141.03.

He's got three (50s) to his name, with the highest score of 97 runs. His ability to clear boundaries and aggressive approach make him a player to watch out for in the future. Islamabad United fans are eager to watch this explosive batsman play a crucial role in his franchise.

Naseem Shah

After a long-lasting injury, there is a high probability that Shah will make his comeback for Islamabad United in PSL 2024. Naseem, after several frustrating years at the Quetta Gladiators, moved to United this year. Shah proved his worth as one of the leading Pakistan pacers across the format in International cricket.

However, he's still unable to achieve that feat in the PSL. He's got 12 wickets in 19 matches with an average of 42.58 and a strike rate of 30.00 in PSL, so far. Nevertheless, his franchise is backing him up, as they believe that he'll prove to be a maverick for them.

Alex Hales

The right-arm British batter is all set to feature as a pivotal character for Islamabad United. He's been the main aspect of the United strategy due to his experience and hitting abilities. His numbers are more than enough to show his mettle as a reliable opener.

In his overall T20s, he has scored 11952 runs in 435 matches. However, he's scored 677 runs in 25 matches with an average of 30.77 and a strike rate of 141.93 with the highest score of 80 runs in PSL.
