The 2017 Pakistan Super League Final was a Twenty20cricket match played on 5 March 2017 at the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore, Pakistan to determine the winner of the 2017 Pakistan Super League. The match was contested between Quetta Gladiators and Peshawar Zalmi with Peshawar winning by 58 runs. Darren Sammy, the Zalmi captain, was awarded the man of the match award.
The final was the first time that a match in the Pakistan Super League (PSL) had taken place in Pakistan with the league in its second year. The security situation in the country meant that many overseas players were reluctant to travel to Pakistan for an extended period of time after international cricket matches had stopped being staged in the country for several years after the 2009 attack on the Sri Lanka national cricket team in Lahore. All matches other than the final took place in the United Arab Emirates.
