The highest batting average in PSL 2020 highlights the most consistent run-getters in the Pakistan Super League season. Batting average is total runs divided by times dismissed (not outs are excluded), so a high average indicates a batsman who scores heavily and gets out less often. On this page you can see the top 50 batsmen in PSL 2020 ranked by average, alongside their runs, highest score, strike rate, fifties and hundreds. Use the table above to compare performers and follow the links below for the full PSL 2020 schedule, points table, most runs, and top wicket-takers.

Why batting average matters in PSL 2020

In T20 cricket, batting average is often discussed alongside strike rate. A high average with a strong strike rate suggests a player who both scores runs and scores them quicklyβ€”ideal for the Pakistan Super League format. The PSL 2020 batting average list helps identify such players: those who appear in the top 50 have typically played a reasonable number of innings and maintained a high average. Coaches, selectors and fans use this stat to judge consistency. If you are following a particular team or player, you can cross-reference this page with the PSL 2020 squads and players list, and with the fixtures and results to see when these batsmen performed.

How the table is ordered

The ranking on this page is strictly by batting average in PSL 2020. Other useful batting stats on PSL Matches include most runs (total run scorers), highest strike rate (run rate per 100 balls), most fifties, most hundreds, most sixes and most fours. Together these give a full picture of batting in the Pakistan Super League. For bowling, see the top wicket-takers, best economy rates and best bowling averages in PSL 2020.

Using this page with the PSL 2020 schedule and results

To see when and where the batsmen in the table played, use the PSL 2020 schedule. Every match in the Pakistan Super League is listed there with dates, venues and links to scorecards. The points table shows how teams stand in the league; the batsmen in the highest-average list contribute to their teams’ totals. For team-level stats, check team total runs, team hundreds and team fifties in PSL 2020. All of these pages are updated as the season progresses so you can track form and consistency.

Batting average in T20 and PSL

In T20 leagues like the Pakistan Super League, averages tend to be lower than in Test or ODI cricket because batsmen take more risks. A batting average in the high twenties or thirties in PSL 2020 is often considered very good. The top of the table usually includes openers and middle-order batsmen who have had strong tournaments with several not-outs, which boosts their average. Comparing the average list with the highest strike rate list helps separate steady accumulators from power hitters. For the best single innings, see highest individual score in PSL 2020.

Qualification and minimum innings

Batting average rankings can use a minimum-innings or minimum-runs qualification so that part-time batsmen with one or two not-outs do not appear at the top. The table on this page shows the top 50 batsmen in PSL 2020 by average as calculated from the official PSL data. If a player has a very high average, it usually means they have scored runs in multiple innings and been dismissed relatively few times. Combining this list with most runs in PSL 2020 shows who has both volume and consistency. For explosive innings, check highest individual score and highest strike rate.

Links to teams and players

Each batsman in the table represents a PSL franchise. To see the full squad and match schedule for that team, use the team pages linked from our PSL teams section. The PSL 2020 squads page lists all teams and their players for the season. For individual player profiles, go to the PSL 2020 players list. There you can find batting and bowling stats per player across the league. The schedule and points table complete the picture for PSL 2020.
