In that final, Burmah had got Pakistan opener, Fakhar Zaman, out early when he nicked the ball to MS Dhoni. However, when the third umpire checked, it showed that the Indian pacer had overstepped. This turned out to be a huge turning point in that match. Zaman went on to score a match-winning century in that final and Pakistan won the match as well.

Meanwhile, the PSL had to be suspended with the semis and the final yet to be played due to the pandemic. The foreign players were asked to leave and return to their homes.
