The Pakistan Super League (PSL) trophy was revealed on Saturday, a day before the final which is to be played between Quetta Gladiators and Peshawar Zalmi.

During a ceremony at Karachi's National Stadium, the captains for both finalists, Sarfaraz Ahmed and Darren Sammy, lifted the trophy.

Addressing a press conference after the trophy was revealed, Sarfaraz said that the kind of cricket seen in the second leg of PSL is completely different than what was played Dubai or Sharjah.

"PSL will become even more fruitful once the tournament is completely shifted to Pakistan," he said. Speaking about tomorrow's showdown, the Gladiators' skipper said that he has a strong team lined up with many individual top scorers.

Sammy on the other hand said that he believes in team performance instead of individual performances. The Zalmis have won a PSL final in 2017, while the Gladiators have made it to the last round for the third time.
