With contrasting paths and rich narratives leading to the grand finale, the stage is set for a gripping contest filled with emotion, ambition, and legacy. LQ vs QG Final 2025: Match Details Final: Lahore Qalandars vs Quetta Gladiators Date: Sunday, May 25, 2025 Venue: Gaddafi Stadium, Lahore Start Time: 7:30 PM PST Lahore Eye Third Title Led by the ever-passionate Shaheen Shah Afridi, Lahore Qalandars are chasing a dream—a third PSL title in just four years. After narrowly missing out on a three-peat last season, the hunger within the camp has only intensified. 'We are buzzing to feature in our third PSL final in four years, and our aim is to complete the treble at our home ground,' Shaheen remarked, filled with energy and belief. Despite finishing fourth in the league stage, the Qalandars have stormed into the final with dominant playoff performances. A gritty win against arch-rivals Karachi Kings in Eliminator 1 was followed by a statement 95-run demolition of Islamabad United in Qualifier 2. Afridi credited the team's aggressive style and balanced combination for their late surge. 'Our team combination backs us to be aggressive throughout, which is a welcome development for any championship-winning team.'

Saud Shakeel, who took over captaincy from Rilee Rossouw, has not only brought leadership stability but also reignited belief in the camp. 'It's an honor to lead the Gladiators into the final. The boys have shown exceptional spirit all season. We're ready to give our all and bring the trophy home,' Saud said, his calm confidence reflecting a team on a mission. Quetta has been the team to beat this season. With just two losses in 10 league matches, they finished atop the table and extended their winning streak to seven by defeating defending champions Islamabad United in Qualifier 1. While Lahore Qalandars boast experience in high-pressure finals, Quetta Gladiators are returning to the PSL summit clash for the first time in six years. Their last appearance came in 2019, when they lifted the trophy. For Saud Shakeel, who has seen Quetta's ups and downs from close quarters, this is more than just a title run—it's a redemption arc. 'It's been a memorable journey. Gaddafi Stadium has been lucky for us we've won five out of six games here this season. Hopefully, that continues in the final too,' Saud noted with optimism. Meanwhile, Afridi is banking on past dominance over Quetta, including a commanding 79-run win earlier this season and an abandoned match also in Lahore. 'We'll look to repeat those feats tomorrow evening,' he said.

Champions to be crowned as Lahore, Quetta face off in PSL final today
KARACHI: Defending champions Lahore Qalandars will face 2019 winners Quetta Gladiators in the final of the Pakistan Super League (PSL) today, Sunday, with both sides aiming to make history in the tenth edition of the country's premier T20 tournament. The final will be played under lights at Lahore's Qaddafi Stadium, with the match set to begin at 7:30 p.m. local time. A reserve day has been scheduled for Monday in case of rain. The winner will walk away with $500,000 in prize money, while the runners-up will receive $200,000. Either the Shaheen Shah Afridi-led Qalandars will become only the second team in PSL history to win three titles, or the Saud Shakeel-led Gladiators will lift their second trophy after a six-year gap. Qalandars fought their way into the final through the playoffs, knocking out Karachi Kings and Islamabad United, while Quetta topped the points table and beat Islamabad in the qualifier to book their spot. 'I'm thrilled and honored to be leading Quetta Gladiators to an HBL PSL final and we will do our best to lift the trophy,' Shakeel said. 'Qaddafi Stadium really has been a lucky venue for us where we have won five out of our six games and will look to continue the winning momentum.' Afridi said Lahore were aiming for a title hat trick on home turf. 'We are buzzing to feature in our third HBL PSL final in the last four editions and our aim is to complete the treble at our home ground,' he said. Lahore, who finished fourth in the group stage, will take confidence from their previous outing against Quetta, where they secured a commanding 79-run win before their second encounter was washed out. Fakhar Zaman, Abdullah Shafique and Mohammad Naeem have led the charge with the bat for Qalandars, while Shaheen, Haris Rauf and Rishad Hossain have spearheaded the bowling attack. Quetta, meanwhile, have enjoyed a dramatic turnaround after finishing last in 2023. Their success this season has been fueled by consistent performances from Hasan Nawaz, Rilee Rossouw and a bowling unit featuring Abrar Ahmed, Faheem Ashraf and Mohammad Amir. Both captains promised a highly competitive final to close out what has been a landmark 34-match edition of the HBL PSL.

Gladiators eye first final in six years as PSL playoffs begin today
LAHORE: With the group stages wrapped up in Rawalpindi, the 2025 Pakistan Super League (PSL) enters its business end as the action shifts to Lahore for the playoffs, culminating in the final on May 25. Quetta Gladiators and Islamabad United will face off in Qualifier 1 on Wednesday, while arch-rivals Lahore Qalandars and Karachi Kings clash in the high-stakes Eliminator on Thursday. Gladiators on the charge Gladiators' resurgence has been nothing short of remarkable. After a shaky start — losing two of their first three games — they turned the tide in dramatic fashion against Karachi Kings, pulling off a five-run win from the brink of defeat. That moment sparked a dominant run that saw them win all their remaining completed matches, finishing top of the table with a three-point cushion. Key to their turnaround has been Abrar Ahmed, who has emerged as one of the season's standout bowlers, combining a high wicket tally with exceptional economy. Mohammad Amir and Khurram Shahzad have delivered at crucial moments, while Faheem Ashraf has shown flashes of his best all-round form. Though captain Saud Shakeel's opening position remains a weak spot, the return of power hitters Finn Allen and Rilee Rossouw for the playoffs, along with the firepower of Hasan Nawaz and Khawaja Nafay, makes Quetta a formidable unit. With two chances at reaching the final, they are strong contenders for a first title since 2019. United's rollercoaster Defending champions Islamabad United had a rollercoaster ride. After five straight wins, a controversial decision to rest five players in their sixth game led to a dramatic collapse in form, with four consecutive losses threatening their playoff hopes. But the mid-season break seemed to reset their rhythm, and they stormed back with a commanding win over Kings, posting a tournament-high 251. Alex Hales' inclusion has offset the absence of Colin Munro, and his partnership with Sahibzada Farhan now forms arguably the league's best opening pair. Shadab Khan continues to lead with bat and ball, while Imad Wasim's economy rate of 7.06 stands out. While United's fast bowling unit — Ben Dwarshuis, Tymal Mills and Salman Irshad — lacks a truly elite name, their all-round depth makes them a potent threat. Kings progress Karachi Kings are back in the playoffs after a three-year gap, but their campaign has lacked consistency. Despite a strong top order featuring David Warner, James Vince (the second-highest run-scorer), and Tim Seifert, their domestic middle order remains vulnerable. That frailty has cost them dearly in key moments, including a dramatic collapse against Quetta and a capitulation against United where they lost 7 for 34. While Abbas Afridi leads the wickets tally and Mohammad Nabi has been the most economical spinner, the Kings' inability to build sustained momentum could be their undoing in the Eliminator. Qalandars survive Two-time defending champions Lahore Qalandars narrowly escaped an early exit with a clutch win in a rain-shortened game. Their top order, led by Fakhar Zaman and supported by Mohammad Naeem and Abdullah Shafique, has been explosive. However, their bowling — once their strength — has faltered. Haris Rauf's economy of 10.66 typifies their struggles. Compounding their woes is the absence of key overseas players like Sikandar Raza and Daryl Mitchell. Though replacements such as Kusal Perera and Shakib al Hasan have been drafted in, it remains to be seen whether Qalandars can rediscover their championship pedigree. As the playoffs begin, Quetta and Islamabad carry momentum, while Kings and Qalandars must dig deep to stay alive.
