Pakistan Super League franchise Lahore Qalandars winning the seventh season of the tournament means that each of the six franchises has now won a title each. The fact that this has been achieved during just the seventh season speaks highly about the level of competition which PSL has had in store for us over the years.
Superbly led by first-time captain Shaheen Shah Afridi not just in the final but also throughout the tournament, Afridi was astute with his decisions which ended up becoming a hallmark of his maturity. All of 21, Afridi has become the youngest captain to win a T20 league across the world.
Pick of the bowlers for Lahore tonight, Afridi (4-0-30-3) went past Islamabad United captain Shadab Khan to become the highest wicket-taker of PSL 2022. Afridi, who dismissed Tim David (27), David Willey (0) and Rumman Raees (6), didn’t let the opposition stage a late recovery on the back of quick wickets in the second half of the innings.
While an unbeaten 16-ball 43-run game-changing partnership between Harry Brook (41*) and David Wiese (28*) powered LQ to 180/5 in 20 overs in the first innings, veteran all-rounder Mohammad Hafeez was declared the Man of the Match for following his 69 (46) with bowling figures of 4-0-23-2 comprising of dismissals of Mohammad Rizwan (14) and Aamer Azmat (6).
