2022 Pakistan Super League
7th edition of the Pakistan Super League
The 2022 Pakistan Super League (branded as HBL PSL 7) was the seventh edition of the Pakistan Super League, a professional Twenty20 cricket league established by the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB). The tournament was held entirely in Pakistan from 27 January to 27 February 2022, with matches played at the National Stadium in Karachi and the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore. Six teams participated in a double round robin format followed by playoffs, with all matches conducted under strict COVID-19 protocols.
Lahore Qalandars won their maiden PSL title by defeating defending champions Multan Sultans by 42 runs in the final at Lahore. Fakhar Zaman (Lahore Qalandars) was the tournament's leading run-scorer with 588 runs, while Shaheen Afridi (captain of Lahore Qalandars) took the most wickets with 20. Mohammad Rizwan (captain of Multan Sultans) was named Player of the Tournament for his 546 runs.
HBL Pakistan retained the title sponsorship, while broadcast rights were awarded to PTV Sports and A Sports, with Daraz as the livestreaming partner. The tournament saw Karachi Kings finish last with only one win in ten matches, while Shahid Afridi retired mid-season due to injury in what was meant to be his farewell season.

This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “2022 Pakistan Super League” as 7th edition of the Pakistan Super League. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as 7th edition of the Pakistan Super League. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 19, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q107657310. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2022 and 2021.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
