Bahawalpur Stags got off to a wonderful start with their top-order putting in the kind of shift a promotion playoff demands, but a complete failure of the middle order undid most of their good and allowed Islamabad Leopards to make come back into the gane. Dilshan Madushanka's double-wicket 35th-over really jolted the Stags, halting the ease with which they were keeping their scoreboard ticking. His removal of Azmatullah Omarzai further added to the woes of the Stags, leaving their underperforming lower-order the arduous task of closing out the innings. The Leopards dried up the runs and left the Stags with an underwhelming total despite Ishan Kishan's high-calibre hundred setting the stage up for a blockbuster finish in this all-important playoff.

The Leopards cruise home to victory and deliver an intense heartbreak to the Stags, who will not be getting promoted to the Championship Division despite having quite a stellar season that was on-par with the Lahore Eagles and the Rawalpindi Rams, who received direct promotions.

Virat Kohli and Shamyl Hussain's fifties, alongside Charith Asalanka, Ali Imran and Hasan Nawaz's fourties help the Leopards trump Ishan Kishan's hundred. The Stags' bowlers, who had been quite prolific up until this point, failed to come good in a must-win playoff match and failed to defend 268.

A heartbreaking end to an otherwise fantastic campaign for the Stags, who punched above their weight and ran everyone close in their division.

Thank you for participating in the Pepsi Cup! Would love to see you guys return next season. :cheers

@Pinch hitter @CerealKiller @mohsin7827
 
That is such a relief. We were inconsistent, but i think we had enough talent in our squad to deserve staying in the top flight. So glad that we were this clinical in the deciding match, looking forward to the next season now. The tweaks made in the last couple games really paid off.
 
Thank you for participating in the Pepsi Cup! Would love to see you guys return next season. :cheers
When I get Stags, i didn't expect that team can go this far in this season... If we had couple of good local players, we might go even further...
Thank you @Na Maloom Afraad for another wonderful league and season...

Saim Ayub's modern yet mature 93 off 91 balls at the very top made short work of what was already an underwhelming total from the Panthers, as the Dolphins book their place in the final against the Multan Tigers - a rematch from the first qualifier, and a rematch of the Pepsi Cup II season opener.

Wanindu Hasaranga had quite the game to remember, picking up a 5-wicket haul and being out in the middle and seeing the Dolphins home.

A match to forget for the Panthers on the other hand, who were outplayed in the first innings and couldn't really recover afterwards. A tragic end to the campaign after a dominant regular season, with the very batters that made them so dominant failing to turn up in the big game for the Panthers.

Code:
PESHAWAR PANTHERS    220       48.5 overs
KARACHI DOLPHINS     223/6     44.0 overs

Dolphins won by 4 wickets (with 36 balls remaining)

Player of the Match: Wanindu Hasaranga (Dolphins)

 
That's the kind of comeback I expected from the team and Hasranga.

Saim Ayub played a great innings and captain Masood steadied the ship.

Final against Multan. Here we come!
