Hardie’s four-wicket haul masked a concerning trend: foreign mercenaries are increasingly carrying PSL franchises to glory. Zalmi’s reliance on an Australian allrounder for their second title exposes the domestic talent pipeline’s fragility. While Hardie’s fifty clinched it decisively, Pakistan’s own players shouldered minimal responsibility in crunch moments. This isn’t sustainable success—it’s outsourcing championships.
