After 34 matches, and a whole lot of action, first from the National Stadium in Karachi and then from the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore, we have a first-time winner in the Pakistan Super League! Lahore Qalandars went head to head in the final with the best team of the league stages, Multan Sultans, but were good enough and clinical enough just when it mattered the most, and finally, were the worthy winners of PSL season 7! Shaheen Afridi was outstanding with his overall effort as captain and with contributions from each and every player on show, his team was able to pull off an incredible win in the final!
It was an absolute pleasure on out part to be able to bring you all the live action tonight, from the Gaddafi Stadium itself, the home of the Lahore Qalandars! That is that as far as this edition of the Pakistan Super League is concerned, but stay tuned to Sportskeeda, as far more electrifying cricketing action from across the globe is coming your away, and we cannot wait to cover it all for you! As for now, allow the pair of Soorya and Bidipto, to take your leave!
And indeed, Shaheen Shah Afridi does - he lifts the trophy and joins his teammates as the celebrations begin. They've waited and waited and waited but it's over at last - Lahore Qalandars lift the PSL 7 trophy!
PCB Chairman Ramiz Raja: A huge thanks to everyone - it is the fans who have made the Pakistan Super League. Both teams were brilliant and congratulations to them but specially to the Lahore Qalandars. Thanks to all the organizers, sponsors and police force for making it a grand success. Shaheen Shah Afridi, please go ahead and lift the trophy!
And now, it's time for Shaheen Shah Afridi - he collects the winners' cheque as he makes it to the dais.
Shaheen Afridi: It is a very big achievement for Lahore Qalandars and it is well deserved that we got the win this time round. It was a tough decision for me too to take, being captain of the team, but the senior players like Mohahammad Hafeez and all the support staff were very helpful right through. The kind of fight that we put up, not giving up till the last ball, was the highlight of our winning performance. Thanks a lot to everyone.
Rizwan collects the runner-up cheque on behalf of the Multan Sultans. Make no mistake, they've had a magnificent campaign!
Sarcasm aside, this one's a real surprise - Mohammad Rizwan wins the Player of the Tournament award! He gets it for his runs, wicket-keeping and leadership throughout the tournament.
Mohammad Rizwan: It was a brilliant tournament, and from the point of view of the cricket played, the top two teams reached the final for sure! The final has its own pressure, and I felt that Lahore handled the pressure much better than us, Hafeez batter really well and set it up for the big hitting in the end. I try to keep things simple as a captain and help all the players in the team. We can make a few mistakes but there is always scope for improvement for everyone.
Time for the Batter of the Tournament Award - surprise, surprise! It is Fakhar Zaman! Nobody saw that one coming now, did we?
Shadab Khan wins the Bowler of the Tournament Award. 19 wickets in the competition and a massive catalyst behind Islamabad United making the playoffs. Imran Khan from the Multan Sultans collects the award on Shadab's behalf.
Mohammad Rizwan comes up to receive an award for the best wicket-keeper of the tournament. 7 catches and a couple of stumpings to go with it!
Khushdil Shah wins the All-Rounder of the Tournament Award. It's going to take something to keep him away from Pakistan's T20 World Cup squad later this year. Khushdil also bags the Fielder of the Tournament Award.
