Lahore Qalandars became the only second team after Islamabad United to win the Pakistan Super League (PSL) trophy for the third time after defeating the Quetta Gladiators.
Mohammad Naeem and Fakhar Zaman laid a solid foundation for Lahore Qalandars’ aggressive start to the exciting 202-run chase. The tone of the innings was established by the pair’s 39-run opening combination.
But after only 11 runs off 10 balls, including two boundaries, Fakhar was removed by Abrar Ahmed, ending the partnership.
After Abdullah Shafique joined Naeem at the crease, the two of them swiftly picked up speed, hitting boundaries and forming an important partnership for the second wicket.
