Lahore Qalandars last week won a thrilling victory in the final of the Pakistan Super League (PSL) 10 at Gaddafi Stadium. In an intense exhibition, Qalandars defeated Quetta Gladiators by six wickets, and in four years, they competed with their third honor in which they were presented as the most successful teams in Islamabad United as well as the most successful teams in PSL history.
In the final, Lahore Qalandars made history by getting the highest successful run chase in any T20 final, an important moment when they successfully chased the target of 200 runs.
Traditionally, it has been difficult to pursue the PSL final, which was the most successful Chase 175, which is in the opening final of the PSL.
Captain Shaheen Afridi won his third PSL title and reinforced his legacy. Earlier, a 25 -year -old left -wing pacer led the title of Lahore in 2022 and 2023. With this victory, Afridi became the most successful captain in the history of the PSL, who surpassed the comrades who got only one title to each one.
The victory also brought significant financial rewards, Lahore Qalandars claimed the PSL Trophy and awarded a cash prize of US $ 500,000 (more than PKR 140 million), while Runners Up Quetta Gladiators received US $ 200,000 (about PPR 56 million). Quetta was hopeful about the second PSL Wali Ahad, winning the first league six years ago.

Although Quetta won only one PSL title in 2019, he has shown a permanent appearance in this season, which has not made the league table with 15 points, two losses, and one results.
A standout moment in the final was an incredible contribution by Alexander Raza. Test match was played just ten minutes before the toss arriving in Pakistan after the demand schedule
England traveled in several countries, and completed several overs. Zimbabwe’s all -rounder had a significant impact. Despite logistics obstacles, Raza’s perseverance allowed him to go to victory and guide his team, which included the winning runs with six and four in the last minute. In particular, his fellow Pereira’s unbeaten 62 off 31 balls kept Lahore’s hopes alive during the chase.
Lahore Qalandars had emergency projects, preparing two squad listings with Alexander Raza and the other was unable to reach time with Shakib Al Hasan-Shurd Raza.
It is noteworthy that Raza changed several flights to ensure his contribution, which showed his dedication. His whirlwind trip included 25 overs bowling a day earlier, batting more than 20 overs last day, and traveling from Birmingham to Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and finally Lahore all ended in the final. He landed in Lahore around 6pm on the match, bowled some delivery during warm -up, and immediately. He went into the field to contribute to victory.
After the match, Alexander Raza mentioned the test after his rigorous routine, sharing that he had dinner in Birmingham, had breakfast in Dubai, lunch in Abu Dhabi, and traveled to several countries before arriving in Lahore. Despite his physical and mental exhaustion, his encouragement to return so fast was the urgent need for the team’s own abilities. His efforts and flexibility eventually played a key role in the winning campaign of Lahore Qalandars.
