The first edition of the PSL has been exceptional and has kept the cricket fans glued to the TV screens throughout the last 20 days. However, the things peaked today on the final day of the tournament where every moment was cherished and every scene celebrated.

This is what Pietersen had to say earlier today.

The inaugural event of the #PSLT20 has been nothing short of fantastic! Final this eve. May the best team win!

There is no doubt that the PSL has been a success and the packed crowds in a foreign country clearly displayed this fact throughout the tournament. Besides, a Pakistani colour was clearly visible today when all the members of the commentary and analysis team wore traditional Pakistani dresses. All the male members of the team wore Shalwar Qamees with waist coats while Zainab Abbas wore White Shalwar Qamees along with Pink Dupatta.

Pakistan People s Party (PPP) leaders Bilawal Bhutto Zardari and his sisters also came to the stadium to watch the match and also support the PSL.

Islamabad United defeated Quetta Gladiators by 6 wickets and with 8 balls to spare. Read complete story here: PSL final: United overpower Gladiators by 6 wickets
