DUBAI – Islamabad United defeated Quetta Gladiators in the final match of first season of Pakistan Super League by 6 wickets in a packed Dubai International Stadium on Tuesday. After a spectacular display of fireworks lit up the start of the final of the inaugural Pakistan Super League in Dubai, Dwayne Smith produced the cricketing equivalent of it, firing Islamabad United to the title. He struck 73 off 51 balls, 52 of them through boundaries. Smith’s effort came after Quetta Gladiators had put up a challenging 174 with fluent half-centuries from Ahmed Shehzad and Kumar Sangakkara. Islamabad captain Misbah-ul-Haq, who had termed the PSL almost like a “World Cup” at the toss, sealed the victory with a flick past midwicket and sparked off wild celebrations. <iframe src=”https://www.youtube.com/embed/WPBxCZNe7Sg” width=”560″ height=”315″ frameborder=”0″ allowfullscreen=”allowfullscreen” data-mce-src=”https://www.youtube.com/embed/WPBxCZNe7Sg”></iframe> – Bilawal Bhutto Zardari – Pakistan People s Party (PPP) Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari and his sisters also came to stadium to watch the match and supported the PSL.
