Emerging PLayer Of The Tournament

It's really special for me, as an emerging player, you win player of the tournament, it's really a proud moment for me. Whatever time we got for practice, I worked on my shortcomings, saw my videos and worked on my technique. At start, we lost two wickets, spin was coming nicely onto the bat and I wanted to target the spinners, it came off well. Management always supported and we wanted to win the final but unfortunately it couldn't happen.

Sikandar Raza, of Lahore Qalandars, wins the all-rounder of the tournament award for his outstanding performances throughout the tournament

There were n-number of performances that might have deserved to win this final, but in the end it was Kusal Perera and Sikandar Raza who earned the honour as Lahore Qalandars edged out Quetta Gladiators in an electrifying PSL final. Both teams battled fiercely throughout the tournament, displaying remarkable skill and resilience to reach the pinnacle of the competition. The final unfolded in a flurry of excitement and anticipation, with both teams showcasing their strengths and weaknesses in equal measure. Ultimately, it was the Qalandars who managed to pull clear in the final analysis. They now claim a third title in style while the Gladiators will have to wait for another year to get their hands on the trophy.

The entire Lahore Qalandars team is out on the field, jumping on Sikandar Raza, who's just won them the title! Fireworks light up the sky; what a final this was! It was no one-sided affair; right till the end, no one could say which team had the upper hand. Both teams fought neck and neck. But once again, Lahore found a way; they just keep winning titles. Their energy tonight was on another level, led superbly by their captain. Yes, they leaked quite a few runs at the death but they bat deep and had enough quality in their ranks to get over the line. Even without Daryl Mitchell, they made it work with the resources available and looked calmer, more composed side tonight. Quetta will have to wait again. They'll rue this golden opportunity, still without a title since 2019. A bitter pill to swallow. Amir was a bit scruffy at the death while Perera was superb; he played one of the best knocks of his career. And Raza? He did Raza things. The man for a crisis, he loves the spotlight and thrives under pressure. The entire team is now on a victory lap. This was the highest successful chase in any PSL final. Commiserations to the Gladiators and huge congratulations to the Qalandars

This was the highest successful target in any PSL final. Previous highest was 200 by Kolkata Knight Riders against Kings XI Punjab in IPL 2014 final.

Smartush: "That 2nd last over from Amir was a total disappointment, but for Sikandar Raza there is a saying "whatever happens, happens for a good reason". England finishing their test match early, Raza taking a flight, winning a final.. a story to tell to the upcoming generation."

Fahim Mahi: "SIKANDAR RAZA, YOU ABSOLUTE BEAUTY! What a story, came just 10 minutes before the match and delivered a game-changing innings, finishing it in style. Simply incredible!"

Muzahid: "Management had other plans. They said we'll play till the last ball. It was a brilliant game of cricket and we enjoyed it a lot."

Uzair Mir : "Sikandar - truly a Sikandar. Battled hard to prevent an innings defeat yesterday, less than 24 hours later plays a blinder to give Lahore their third title. We'll never forget this game, will be replayed for years to come."

Muqeet: "Quetta must have been thinking if Raza could have been late by just 10 mins today before toss.
