Lahore Qalandars, the team that remained unfortunate in the early editions of PSL has finally got their hands on the very deserving trophy after beating Multan Sultans in the final of the 7th edition. Lahore started with the bat and were pinned by the disciplined bowling of Multan which resulted in Lahore scoring their 100 in 14.5 overs, courtesy of Asif Afridi and Imran Tahir. However, the Qalandars countered in the death overs and smashed quite well to take their total to 180 as Harry Brook and David Wiese became the stars. Hafeez (Player of the match) played a brilliant knock of 69 in 46 balls to stabilize the team after the quick dismissal of the openers.
The Sultans, known for their strong batting line up, failed to fight the Qalandars’ impressive bowling line up as only two batsmen managed to reach above 20 runs. Rizwan became the first to fall and soon no other batsman was able to carry on. Shaheen Shah Afridi, who displayed an excellent form of captaincy in the nail-biting eliminator against Islamabad, became the star of the bowlers by taking 3 wickets. The Sultans managed a total of 138 all out which resulted in the Qalandars winning the match by 42 runs.
It may be a final for the Sultan teams and fans to forget, but this loss should not cover their achievement of winning consecutively throughout the tournament. Both teams have played well throughout the season and the fans hope for another exciting season next year.
Some achievements:
- Batter of the tournament: Fakhar Zaman (588 Runs)
- Bowler of the tournament: Shadab Khan (19 wickets)
- Player of the tournament: Mohammad Rizwan
- Emerging Player of the tournament: Zaman Khan
- Multan Sultans became the only team to register 9 wins out of 10 in the league stages of PSL
