[marlonbrowndo]

I don’t really support teams in the PSL but decided to support my home city this year and was rewarded. Congrats

 

[MMHS]

Congrats - great win. They were my favorites at the start, but LQ shifted the preference in KOs, only to shoot own feet at the Final. It's for Deano ......

 

[Syed1]

Well played lads. Congrats



Always lovely to smash LQ.

 

[El Generico]

Congrats to Karachi, although ARY will be unbearable for a bit now.

 

[Rana]

Best PSL so far and the best side won. Well done Karachi guys

 

[Titan24]

Congrats! Well played.

Babar Azam was just streets ahead of any other batsman from either sides, and he made sure that we`ll not be having a close final in the PSL for yet another edition!

Can someone please explain why Hafeez didn't bowl on that slow surface, which was tailor-made for him? Baffling to say the least! Lahore didn't read the wicket all that well perhaps and, being none for around 70 at the halfway mark made their batsmen lose their shape, as they went a little too hard looking for too big a score in terms of the surface provided.

Congratulations Karachi! Well done!

 

[Adnan_Ilyas]

Babar Azam such class batting

We won't hear the end of it. Infact they will be celebrating this for months :/

 

[Kaddy]

Congratulations to Karachi Kings.

What a wonderful tribute to Dean Jones.

Haha! O` yes, ARY News is probably going to brag about it for quite a few weeks mind you. Will be heard to bear, the channel.

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

Karachi played a smarter game today, they picked the right bowlers for the conditions, and Lahore more or less handed them the game on a plate by trying to muscle their way to a big score instead of getting to 150 first which would have given them a decent total on the day.

Really liked watching Umaid Asif again, think he's a better bowler than he looks, although obviously he needs right conditions.

 

[ahmadharis1]

Lets go Karachi! Great performance for the maiden title. Fantastic knock by Babar, class yet again! Big congrats to Lahore as well, they had a great season

Babar Azam was named Player of the HBL Pakistan Super League 2020 after Karachi Kings defeated Lahore Qalandars by five wickets to win their maiden title since the inception of the PCB’s marquee event in 2016.

Babar finished the tournament with 473 runs, including three player of the match awards, that also helped him to win the award for Best batsman of the HBL PSL 2020 award.

Babar is the second Karachi Kings’ player to win the prestigious award after Ravi Bopara was declared Player of the HBL PSL 2016 after aggregating 329 runs and taking 11 wickets.

Babar’s Pakistan team-mate Shaheen Shah Afridi won the Best bowler of the HBL PSL 2020. He took 17 wickets, at a strike-rate of 16.4 and economy-rate of 7.11.

Shaheen’s Lahore Qalandars’ team-mate Ben Dunk lifted the award for Best wicketkeeper of HBL PSL after accounting for nine batsmen behind the wickets.

Haider Ali was declared the Emerging Player of the HBL PSL 2020. The 20-year-old justified his category by first making an impression in the first half of the tournament that earned him a Pakistan call-up before finishing the competition with 239 runs at a strike-rate of 157.23.

Fakhar Zaman was named as the Best Fielder of the HBL PSL 2020 when his fitness and agility not only helped him to save critical runs and create run-out opportunities, but also finished with 10 catches.

[Saj]

Can't begrudge them the win.

They had a good all-round squad with a few key players who performed really well.

Captaincy was pretty good and Babar was brilliant.

Their bowlers were steady rather than spectacular and that meant they by and large knew what they could do with the ball.

 

[Hasan123]

Congrats to KK fans for a deserved win. Deano would be happy with that performance.

 

[MMHS]

A longer tournament actually filters out the best - almost every award went to deserving players. Rizwan would have been the best WK as well had he played every game.

 

[Green Patriot]

Ahhh finally
How I wish the National Stadium could have been full to brim. Would have been surreal

This one's for Deano, definitely.

 

[Rayyman]

Alhamdulillah my favorite team won!

[BakuGM]

Great win for my hometown and that against Lahore. So good to see these two teams finally showing up with Karachi winning the title. As many have said earlier this one is for Deano....

Wow nice of him to do this.

 

[Suleiman]

Wow... what??? I’ve been out of the loop cricket wise for a few months, had no idea PSL was around this time, and Lahore Qalandars made it to playoffs AND Finals?! Bigger shock to me than Karachi winning.

As for my hometown winning, man I missed out big time, didn’t even know they made it this far let alone won. Good job, this ones for you Deano.

Wow, was looking at the preliminary models of that project announced recently. Will probably be one of the hottest properties in Karachi in 5 years similar to Palm Jumeirah in Dubai.
