Background

Peshawar Zalmi's Haider Ali and Umaid Asif were suspended from the final against the Multan Sultans after both players confessed to charges of violating the tournament's health and safety protocols by meeting people from outside their bio-secure bubbles. A press release by Pakistan Cricket Board stated that the duo "were found not to have interacted with any other squad members at any time after the incident" and were "placed in room isolation". [3] 2017 tournament champions Zalmi qualified for their fourth final while it was a first-ever final for Sultans. The prize money for the winners and runners-up was set at Rs.75 million and Rs.30 million, respectively. [4]
