Here is the updated list of all the PSL Winners
12:09 am: Rameez Raja thanks everyone and invites Shaheen and the team to go up and collect the trophy. Everyone is celebrating, Hafeez clicks a picture with his family. These are great pictures and you can expect the social media pages of the teams and players to be lit up with them soon.
Shaheen Afridi, Lahore Captain: PDP (player Development Board) has helped unearth many young players like Haris and Zaman. It was a difficult responsibility when I was appointed captain. But thanks to my family, Hafeez who supported throughout and everyone in the team.I want to give credit to everyone in the team as all of them put up their hands and contributed at different times.
Mohammad Rizwan, Multan Captain and The Player of the Tournament: Lahore, along with us, deserved to win. Others were great in parts but we were consistently and thought it was fair that they won. The difference between the two sides was that they played better in pressure situations. Like Hafeez did after losing early wickets but we couldn’t do that. (On captaincy) I play with everyone and support teammates. We all make mistakes and I look at them as fallible humans and try to be accepting of them which has helped.

Shadab Khan is the Bowler of the tournament for 19 wickets with two 4-wicket hauls and one 5-wicket haul

David Wiese: The batters did well to set it up. I felt good and was lucky to get a few. The fact that we were the only team to have beat Multan gave us confidence. We knew that the final was one off and we knew we could win it. We enjoyed ourselves and are thrilled to have won.

11:15 pm: The PSL has a new champion! The fireworks and the crowds bear witness to a team in ecstacy.
Lahore were the underdogs in the beginning of this game, they started poorly but Hafeez took over. He did so with the ball too, taking Rizwan which was massive. The regular wickets and dry overs meant the target of 181 made its weight felt. Zaman bowled beautifully and Shaheen took out the lower middle order. Haris got one and Wiese finished it off after going for a few earlier. That does not matter, all that matters now is that all six of the PSL teams now have a championship under their belt and Lahore is the latest entry.
