Hafeez then chipped in with wickets of in-form opener Mohammad Rizwan (14) and Aamer Azmat (six) to bowl the defending champions for 138 in 19.3 overs.
Once the league’s eternal wooden-spoon — finishing last in the first four editions before reaching the final in 2020 — Qalandars finally completed the set of winners. All six teams have now won the league.
