The 2017 Pakistan Super League Final was a Twenty20 cricket 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 Peshawar 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 and that there was the danger that matches would be attacked by terrorist groups. All matches other than the final took place in the United Arab Emirates.
During the group stage of the 2017 Pakistan Super League each team played eight matches, two against each of the other sides contesting the competition. All matches were played in the United Arab Emirates due to the security situation in Pakistan. The top four teams progressed to the playoff stage. Peshawar Zalmi and Quetta Gladiators finished the group stage in first and second positions respectively, with both teams winning four of their matches, losing three. One match between the two teams was abandoned due to rain with each side receiving one point as a result. Peshawar were awarded first place in the points table based on a better net run rate than Quetta.
Quetta chased the tournament's highest total, 200 against Lahore Qalandars in their group match.
The two sides played each other twice in the round-robin stage of the tournament. The first match, held in Sharjah on 17 February, was first reduced to 16 overs per side due to rain before the start of the match. Peshawar completed their innings, scoring 117 runs for the loss of three wickets from their 16 overs but, following further rain, the match was abandoned without any of Quetta's innings being possible. Tamim Iqbal top scored in the Peshawar innings with 62 not out from 46 balls.
