How did each team reach the final?
| Team | League finish | Playoff route |
|---|---|---|
| Quetta Gladiators | 2nd, 14 points | Won the qualifier on 13 March by 10 runs against Peshawar Zalmi and went straight to the final |
| Peshawar Zalmi | 1st, 14 points | Lost the qualifier, then beat Islamabad United by 48 runs in the second eliminator |
The on-field umpires were Ranmore Martinesz and Ahsan Raza, with Shozab Raza as TV umpire, Rashid Riaz as reserve and Roshan Mahanama as match referee. One minute’s silence was observed at the closing ceremony for the victims of the Christchurch mosque shootings. Peshawar had finished first in the table with Quetta second, so the side that topped the league lost the title decider, as the page system allows. Quetta won 7 of their 10 league matches, the same record as Peshawar.
The season is on the PSL 4 page. Previous final: PSL 3; next: PSL 5; all winners: PSL winners.
Peshawar had scored 214/5 in the second eliminator to beat Islamabad by 48 runs, yet they managed only 138/8 in the final, where Quetta’s bowlers, led by Hasnain, kept them quiet. Quetta’s Shane Watson, the player of the tournament with 430 runs, was run out for 7 in the chase, and his side still won with 13 balls to spare.
