The awards for the Player of the Match and Player of the Final went to Mohammad  Hafeez who took two wickets and scored 69 runs that helped the Qalandars post a 181 target for Multan Sultans.

Mohammad Hafeez came to the attack in the second over, as he was welcomed by Masood with a boundary. Hafeez conceded nine runs.

In the seventh over, Shaheen brought Hafeez back to the attack, who provided the Qalandars with another breakthrough, as Ameer Azmat went for 6 (9), courtesy to Fakhar Zaman for taking a blinder, as Hafeez conceded only two runs in successful over.

In the 9th over, Hafeez went out to bowl his last and ninth over of Sultans’ innings, as Tim David joined Rossouw. Hafeez finished with exceptional bowling figures as 2-23.

Mohammad Hafeez arrived on the wicket when Qalandars were 25/3. In the sixth over, Rumman Raees came to the attack, who conceded a boundary from Hafeez’s willow, which was an edge, but Qalandars’ fans welcomed it. In the same over, the veteran Hafeez played a delicate shot to the third man region for two consecutive times. Raees went out to be costly for Sultans, as he conceded 15 runs in his first over.

Khushdil Shah continued to bowl the ninth over, as Hafeez smashed him for a sixer and a fine boundary, placed in the gap on long-on. Khushdil ended his second over conceding 13 runs.

Shahnawaz Dahani finally came to the attack in the 10th over. Hafeez played another delicate shot against Dahani, as Dahani went for 10 runs.

In the 12th over, Asif Afridi came back to the attack to complete his four-over quota, managed to provide another breakthrough in the form of Kamran Ghulam, who attempted to hit Asif Afridi, down the ground, but was caught by Tim David on 15 off 20. This put the partnership of 54 runs between Hafeez and Kamran Ghulam to an end. Harry Brook joined Hafeez at the wicket, as Asif Afridi finished off a promising spell, as he bagged three wickets, conceding only 19 runs.

The 13th over was started by Imran Tahir, who along with Mohammad reviewed an lbw against Hafeez, but that was a waste of a review.

In the 14th Rizwan brought Khushdil Shah, back to the attack, in this Hafeez played a handsome cut shot. Khushdil conceded 10 runs in this over, which also included a wide delivery.

In the 15th over, bowled by Tahir, Mohammad Hafeez completed his maiden 50 in this year’s PSL. Hafeez played a sweep shot to get a boundary against Tahir. Imran Tahir conceded nine runs in his last over, ending his spell, giving away 22 runs, and remained wicketless, which remained a rare case in this season’s PSL. 

David Willey, who came back to the attack in the 16th over was welcomed by Mohammad Hafeez with a boundary. The 18th over, started by Shahnawaz Dahani, as he bowled a poor delivery, and went for the boundary in the first ball by Hafeez. He took an act of revenge and got rid of Hafeez, who played a great knock 69 (46), under the mounting pressure.
