PSL 2022: Pakistan cricket fraternity reacts to Lahore Qalandars' maiden PSL title win

Lahore Qalandars defeated Multan Sultans by 42 runs in the PSL 2022 final.

By Salman Anjum - 28 Feb, 2022

Lahore Qalandars on Sunday (February 27) created history by clinching their maiden Pakistan Super League (PSL) title with a comprehensive 42-run victory over Multan Sultans at the Gaddafi Stadium.

Opting to bat first, Lahore piled up a massive 180/5 in their stipulated 20 overs on the back of Mohammad Hafeez’s 46-ball 69. Harry Brook (41* of 22 balls) and David Wiese (28* off 8 balls) also made significant contributions with the bat.

Asif Afridi was the stand-out bowler for Multan, claiming three wickets by conceding 19 runs in his four overs.

In reply, Multan’s innings folded for a paltry 138 in 19.3 overs. It was a listless batting performance as no batter managed to touch the 40-run mark. Khushdil Shah was the top scorer with 23-ball 32.

For Qalandars, skipper Shaheen Afridi (3-30), Hafeez (2-23), and Zaman Khan (2-26) were the wrecker-in-chief with the ball.

Pakistan cricket fraternity lauded Lahore Qalandars for winning their stunning display in the final to clinch the PSL 2022 trophy.

Here are the reactions:
