Pakistan Super League: Karachi Kings New Champions.

Hello Everyone! I hope you all are fine and doing great.

The PSL 5 has come to an end. And it's Karachi Kongs who have come victorious in the final match beating Lahore by 5 wickets.

The final match was a roller coaster of emotions for the fans as the two teams having history of rivalry were up against each other.

Lahore won the toss and elected to bat in the final which seemed to be a good decision as runs on the board in a final match always brings the pressure on the team batting second.

Lahore started with their openers Fakhar Zaman And Tamim Iqbal. They scored 37 runs in the first 6 overs because the pitch was too Slugglish and slow which made ball harder to time and boundaries were difficult to come and add to that Karachi bowlers line and lengths were perfect they kept Changing their pace.

Lahore received the first blow in the face of Tamim Iqbal who departed for a rather slow inning scoring 32 of 36 deliveries, In the same over Fakhar Zaman lost his wicket to Umaid Asif who picked up too wickets in the same over. After this blow Lahore batsmen kept losing their wickets to reckless shots and batting. And soon were 6 wickets down above 100. Shaheen Afridi provided the late flourish tonking Mohd Amir For 14 Runs in the Final over of the inning and Lahore finished on 134/7.

Chasing a rather small total on a two paced and slow pitch Karachi Kings batsmen gave them a brisk start scoring 20 of the first two overs of their innings. Babar Azam Smashing two boundaries in the first over. Sharjeel Khan departed soon and then Alex Hales too didn't last long and gave Lahore bowlers a glimpse of hope. But while Babar Azam was there nothing much happened for the Lahore bowlers he kept them milking for runs it looked like he was batting on a different pitch altogether.

14 were required of last three overs and Haris Rauf took two wickets on consecutive balls to send back Iftikhar and Rutherford and it seemed like there is another twist in the but Babar Azam made sure there were no more hiccups and chased the target without any drama with 8 balls left, Scoring 65 of 49 balls.

He was Ajudged Man of the for his heroic innings and got the player of the series award scoring a tally of 473 runs with an staggering average of 59.

While Shaheen Afridi from Lahore was given the best bowler of the tournament award as he was pick of the bowlers.

It was the first time that these two teams reached the finals.
