Irrespective of who won the final, I have to say that this year's tournament was extremely competitive. The matches were of exceptional quality and some of the top T20 players in the world took part in the competition. Yesterday Najam Sethi claimed that PSL surpassed IPL in terms of digital viewership (although I have doubts over this claim). He also claimed to have record attendance and ticket sales for this season, which seems to be the case. But then, this season was not without its fair share of drama. During the final stages, there was a dispute with Punjab government, over security expenses.
BTW, the big news is that Najam Sethi is proposing to expand the number of franchises in the PSL to 8. That means that two new franchises will be added to the league in the next few years. Owners of the existing franchises are not quite happy about this, as they are worried that it will further dilute the revenues that they are receiving. Also, there is an agreement between Rameez Raja (when he was the PCB chief) and the franchise owners, which limited number of teams to 6 till 2025. Sethi says that he will be able to convince the franchises.

Pakistan Super League - Season 8 Final won by Lahore Qalandars by 1 run
Ohhh my goodness!!! Only 1 run !! What's an extraordinary innings for Multan Sultan!! Bad luck for Khushdil Shah and Abbas Afridi. Both are trying the best to win the match but bad luck for MS and all followers of Multan Sultan.I am a Bangladeshi yet I am a supporter of Multan Sultan. It hurt me a lot to lose to Lahore Qalandar in today's match but in the final I wish Lahore Qalandar the best of luck. The joy that today's match gave will never be forgotten.
Here I have to praise Sultans as well, but Khushdil Shah has never been winning player this is happening second or third time he fails to hit in last over, and they lost match by very narrow margin he needs to check his mistakes and settled this before it's too late but still good win for the Qalandars as they are now second time champions with both times they defeated Sultans it's a good achievement for the all players.

One run - just one run - so close yet so far. That is what the game is about the crowd made so much noise and the passion for the cricket is alive.

What an end. Victory for Qalandars by just 1 run and they now become the first team to win PSL twice in a row. You cant get better Final of T20 then this. The match went to the last ball.
Abbas Afridi brought back the Sultans in the game and they needed 4 runs on very last ball of PSL. Shaheen Shah had a perfect game as he picked 4 wickets and scored 44 runs.
Really feeling bad as I was supporting sultans. Congrats to Qalandars for giving us a thriller.

Lahore Qalandar scored 200 runs. Which is an average of 10 runs per over. Multan Sultans have to keep the run rate at 11 per over from the start. Then they can beat this target and win. It is also doubtful whether they can maintain such a run rate till last over. Afridi batted very well and scored very well. He only got a chance to play 15 balls in which he covered 44 runs. Hit 5 sixes and 2 fours in 15 balls. his batting was excellent
In the final match Lahore Qalandars keep a great performance as they set a big target of 200 runs to the opposing team Multan Sultans. However, Multan Sultans are in a good position in the match while playing on that target. 122 runs have been collected with the loss of 3 wickets. 79 runs needed from 44 balls to win. The match is still under the control of Multan Sultans. Currently the required run rate is above 11 if they can't reduce it then the match gradually will be very difficult. They are not letting match go from them - Multan is 160 /5 and 17 balls remaining for 41 runs to wins.
I am a weak heart person - it was difficult for me to watch the last over. But well played both the teams.

According to me the win happened through Shaheen Afridi who managed to score 44 runs from 15 balls. This score helped reach 200 and the same looks to be a big target. Multan Sultans went close and they were unlucky. Anyhow the final match was really a final.

Finally PSL is concluding tonight after one month of thrill and excitement.
Shaheen Shah Afridi has become more a batsmen then bowler in last part of PSL. He scored 44 runs that included 5 sixes and took just 15 balls for that.
In reply, Multan Sultans are playing aggressively. 77 in 7 overs and if they keep moving like this then surely they will lift the trophy. Rilee Rossouw is punishing Lahore Qalandar bowlers.
It looks like Multan Sultans will win the match. Rossouw and Rizwan were in good form and playing in a much responsible manner. They're just trying to maintain the required runrate. In 10 overs time Multan Sultans have scored 101/1 which makes it easy for the upcoming players. Shaheen Afridi is very expensive that his two overs concede 34 runs.

I am sure I am supporting Multan sultan - they might lose match

Rossouw journey in PSL 8 end on positive note as he scored 52 runs on just 32 balls. Rashid Khan is pick of the bowler, he has given 15 runs in his 3 overs and also picked the wicket of Rossouw. Sultans are not going after Rashid and he still has one more over to go. 84 runs still required in 8 overs so we cant say that Multan Sultans will win the match. Keep your fingers crossed this match will go to last bowl.
Finally PSL is concluding tonight after one month of thrill and excitement.

That was a serious blow to Babar Azam career too as captain.
He was very much under pressure in today's match - and I think Shaheen Afridi will be the T20 captain in PAk - Afghan Series as well.

I do not think that winning or losing in PSL has any impact on the national team or it is a cause or reason for the change in the national captain. That does not make any sense. The league and the national tournaments are completely separate entities.
Today is a special match for Lahore Qalandars and Multan Sultans who will win today. That will be the champion of the Pakistan League. Both the teams are very strong due to which they beat all the teams and reached the finals. Today is a special game between two teams so both teams will try hard to win the match and become champions. But as I am a big fan of Multan Sultans, I expect them to win. The match is going to start shortly so all the Pakistan League fans are eagerly waiting to see which team they will see as the champion even i am also
Lahore Qalandar has won the toss and they have elected to bat first. This is the ideal start for Lahore as they always want to put the runs on the board and then their bowlers are capable to restrict any total. If I am not wrong Lahore Qalandar team has the best bowling side of this year's PSL.
HR tried to show his attitude to Muhammand Rizawan - but Muhammad Rizwan only smiled. I like Muhammad Rizwan so much for being so humble.

Multan should save as many runs as they could so that they complete the target and win the match
Lahore Qalandar made 200 runs in their allotted 20 overs. It was one of the most entertaining innings i have ever seen. Shaheen Afridi who is known for his bowling, he came out ahead of David Wese and score 40 runs in only 15 balls. He score 5 big sixes and Lahore Qalandar scored 85 runs in the last 5 overs.
Multan sultan started the inning in style but they have to maintain this run rate throughout the 20 overs without losing wickets, so this target is really tough for them.
Multan Sultans scored 61 runs for one wicket.
46 off 23 ball partnership of Muhammad Rizwan and Rossouw are on the ground and are trying their best to chase the target
