The extravaganza of PSL 2022 ended after 32 games in Lahore and Karachi. After a troubling last season, this season of the league went without any additional burden of Covid or anything. A lot of international stars made their presence in the tournament, and this tournament was a big hit this year.
The tournament was played in just a couple of stadiums, and the quality of the pitches was absolutely outstanding. Karachi’s crowd was disappointing in the initial games, but the games were almost packed in the Lahore leg of the tournament.
Who won PSL 7
Lahore Qalandars defeated Multan Sultans by 42 runs to win their maiden PSL title. The Qalandars opted to bat first in the finals, but they had the worst possible start. They lost their three wickets for 25 runs in just 4.2 overs. Although, the combo of experience and youth did it for the Qalandars.
Mohammad Hafeez scored 69 runs in 46 balls, whereas Brook scored 41 runs in 22 balls. David Wiese again proved his deadly class, and he smashed 28 runs off just eight deliveries. In the end, the Qalandars managed to score a healthy total of 180 runs. Multan Sultans never really looked in the race, and they managed to score just 138 runs.
