Speaking of the final, Shaheen Afridi won the toss and elected to bat first. They scored 200 runs for six wickets in 20 overs. Afridi played a brilliant knock of 44* runs off 15 balls. In reply, Multan Sultans showed great fight but they failed to chase down the target by just one run margin. Thus, Lahore Qalandars won the final and the Qalandars skipper won the player of the match award.
After winning the final, Afridi said that his men kept the nerves and managed to win the match at the end. “We kept our nerves and finally won. Multan played quite well but as David Wiese gave an early breakthrough, Rashid responded at the right moment. We got off to a good start. But there are always turning points. We had many options with the ball - 8 or 9 options. Credit to Zaman for the way he finished it off. Message to the team was that one wicket would bring us back,” the skipper of Lahore Qalandars said.
