PSL 2026: The spectacular PSL 2026 (PSL 11) season at the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore has finally come to a curtain fall. And the final was a match that would be remembered for the changing fortunes and brilliance of individuals, as Peshawar Zalmi won their second title, overcoming the Hyderabad Kingsmen by five wickets. Even though the Yellow Storm are now in possession of the trophy, the ceremony after the game was an ode to the standout players who made the tournament’s voyage from the first ball to the last boundary.

PSL 2026 Final Man of the Match: Aaron Hardie

There was little doubt as to who would be awarded Man of the Match in the final. Aaron Hardie gave one of the best all-round displays in PSL’s history. He first wrecked the back of the Kingsmen batting with a lethal spell of 4/27 to ensure that the debutants were bundled out for a sub-par 129. He then batted to score a match-winning 55* off 39 balls with Zalmi reeling at 40/4. He anchored a critical partnership with Abdul Samad to steer his side home.

PSL 2026 Most Runs & Leader of the Pack: Babar Azam

The Peshawar Zalmi skipper may have flopped in the final, but he was the undisputed king of PSL 2026. Babar Azam was the highest run-getter of the season with a massive 588 runs. Babar’s consistency was the backbone of Zalmi’s march to the top of the points table and ultimately the championship glory as he scored over 73 runs at a strike rate of 145.91.

PSL 2026 Most Wickets & Player of the Tournament: Sufiyan Muqeem

Young spinner Sufiyan Muqeem was the best weapon in the tournament in a season of high-octane batting. He finished with 22 wickets, the most by any bowler, and picked up a vital one in the final. His ability to deliver breakthroughs in the middle overs and keep a disciplined economy rate earned him the coveted Player of the Tournament accolade, cementing his status as the breakout star of the year.
