The 2020 edition of Pakistan Super League is at the halfway stage and now is a good time to take a look at the top performers with bat and ball so far.

This is the first time that the entire T20 tournament is being held in Pakistan, which is a major milestone in the country's attempt to bring meaningful cricket back to its shores.

Most T20 leagues are know for their big hitting but the situation is different in PSL, where bowlers have generally excelled. While the pitches at its previous location – UAE – provided more help to bowlers than was the norm in T20 cricket, there was little doubt that the quality of bowling in the league was unique.

This year, overseas batsmen lead the run-scoring chart while Pakistan bowlers dominate the wicket-takers' list. However, with Babar Azam in fine form, Pakistan could well top the runs tally as well.

As the tournament goes ahead, batting is likely to become a challenge once pitches begin to wear and offer spinners more help.

As of Monday, Multan Sultans are the best team of the tournament with four victories and one defeat. So who have been the top performers in PSL 2020? Find out in the photo gallery above. To move on to the next image, click on the arrows, or if using a mobile device, simply swipe.
