Karachi Kings (KK) faced Lahore Qalandars (LQ) in the final of Pakistan Super League (PSL) 2020 at the National Stadium in Karachi on Tuesday (November 17).

Opting to bat first, Qalandars posted 134/7 in 20 overs. It was a disappointing batting performance as Tamim Iqbal was the top scorer with 38-ball 35.

For Karachi, Umaid Asif (2-18), Waqas Maqsood (2-18) and Arshad Iqbal (2-26) bowled brilliantly and claimed two wickets each.

In reply, Karachi Kings rode on opener Babar Azam’s unbeaten 49-ball 63 to overhaul the target in 18.4 overs with 5 wickets in hand.

Cricket fraternity lauded Babar for his fabulous knock in the all-important match and congratulated Karachi Kings on their maiden PSL title.
