An ideal start of the tournament: Sultans managed to win 7 out of their 10 group stage matches and lost three with close margins. They just brushed aside Zalmi in the first Qualifier but again in the end it was close but no cigar for them.

Highlights of the batting performance: Overreliance on Usman Khan and Iftikhar Ahmed for batting firepower was the hallmark of Sultans batting. The rest of the players like Rizwan and Reeza Hendricks just played the second fiddle

Formidable bowling unit: The brilliance of Usama Mir, Mohammad Ali, David Willey, Abbas Afridi and others made Sultans undoubtedly the best bowling unit of the tournament. On top of that strong performances from part timers like Khusdil Shah and Iftikhar just reinforced their bowling prowess as a unit.

Rizwan's savvy captaincy: Enabled him to get the best out of his players, clever bowling changes did the trick for his side and his composed demeanor with a beaming smile on his face kept his players charged during the course of entire tournament.
