11.25pm Wasim Akram is not running in, he's clapping (almost in slow motion) with a beaming smile and walking onto the field, getting high-faves and handshakes from anyone and everyone! Islamabad get into a huddle and then exchange handshakes with the opponents. Dean Jones is hugged and lifted by the towering Irfan near the pitch!

Quetta Gladiators were the first ones to make it to the finals but it's Islamabad's recent form that proved to be too much. They lost half of their matches in the league stage, Quetta lost only two, and Islamabad have been unstoppable since then. Sami's wickets, Sharjeel's century and everything came together for them to win this title. They are now taking a lap of honour to thank the fans!

Badree: we started really slowly and we really expressed ourselves tonight. I want to say a special thanks to the Pakistani fans, fans all over the world and in Dubai as well. We came from behind in many situations and that worked for us. Hopefully we can come back next year and defend the title.

Haddin: It's all worth it. Since I've retired it's helped me concentrate on one form of the game. You need a really good mix and we got that at the moment.

Haroon Memon: "Brilliant Perfomance From Islamabad United Team They Deserve That Victory Awesome Captincy From Misbah And Coches Wasim Akram & Dean Jones Done Nice Work Well Played Uniteds "

Zuhaib Afzal: "Amazing and wonderful three weeks of Pakistan cricket #PSLFinal"

zahid mahmood: "Appears that Misbah and Akram used Imran Khan's 1992 WC theory of cornered tigers to come from behind!"
