Lahore Qalandars chase down 202 to lift PSL 2025 crown in a heart-stopping finale under the Lahore lights. In a night that will go down as one of the most enthralling in Pakistan Super League history.
Lahore Qalandars scripted a final for the ages, chasing down a daunting 202 to snatch the 2025 title from Quetta Gladiators with just one ball to spare. The heroes of the evening? A jet-lagged Sikandar Raza who had landed minutes before the toss, and Kusal Perera, who played an innings of effortless audacity to guide Lahore to a historic six-wicket win.
The numbers alone tell a tale of drama: 47 runs needed off the final three overs, the highest-ever successful chase in a PSL final, and the highest in any T20 final worldwide. But even they cannot fully capture the madness, the nerve, and the brilliance that unfolded under the electric Lahore sky. Raza’s Odyssey Ends in Glory Twenty-four hours earlier, Sikandar Raza was padding up at Trent Bridge, fighting for Zimbabwe in their historic Test return to English soil. Fast forward a day and several time zones later, he was at the Gaddafi Stadium, facing up to the formidable Mohammad Amir with the PSL crown on the line. Exhausted but undeterred, he pulled off a fairytale finish. With eight required off the last three balls, Raza launched a six and then a four, sealing the chase with style and serenity.
