Tough Opener for Lahore Qalandars
Great pressure weighed on the Lahore Qalandars when they started their chase. Most fans were confident and then Raja, opening batsman, was dismissed early, making them nervous.

Sikandar Raza – The real fighter | Lahore Qalandars win PSL 2025
Sikandar Raza has always shown complete dedication to cricket. Just after playing in an Ashes match in England, he flew straight to Lahore. He arrived on the field just 10 minutes before the match started and still took part. Raza stayed calm even though he hadn’t rested and was tired from traveling. During the last over—which really counted—MS Dhoni managed to clear the boundary with a six and also added another four. We will always remember the incredible way he finished his career in the PSL. He did everything it took to save the city. Raza discovered that intense passion is not affected by meters of distance or changes in time zones. He was the main reason behind this win.

Raza and him formed a critical partnership in the last stage of the match. Handling pressure was what enabled him to win this match. You could tell by every shot that he had skills and precision. Perera was the clear winner for Player of the Match. He brought peace during the troubled times in Lahore.
Mohammad Naeem – A Star is Born
Young Mohammad Naeem was a standout with his brave performance at the crease. He arrived just after Pakistan needed runs desperately and got off to a flying start. He managed to hit 46 runs off 27 balls, thanks to smashing six huge sixes. Naeem showed a lot of spirit and confidence which got the crowd feeling the same way. He wasn’t top form after the crash, yet he played as though he were a hungry lion. What he did in the finals suggests that he is prepared for greater opportunities. Fans and professionals were impressed by everything he did during the tournament. He earned the award for Emerging Player of the Tournament fairly.
