The 2021–22 Quaid-e-Azam Trophy was a first-class domestic cricket competition that took place in Pakistan from 20 October to 29 December 2021.[1][2] In September 2021, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) confirmed the fixtures for the tournament,[3] with the full schedule being announced the following month.[4] Central Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa were the defending champions, after the final of the previous tournament finished in a tie.[5]
All of the matches played in the first three rounds of the tournament finished as draws.[6][7] On 7 November 2021, the PCB announced that fourth round match between Central Punjab and Sindh would be played with the pink ball, along with the final of the tournament.[8] The first result other than a draw came in the fourth round of the tournament, when Southern Punjab beat Northern by ten wickets.[9] In the same round, Ahsan Ali became the ninth batsman to score a triple century in the Quaid-e-Azam Trophy,[10] when he made 303 not out in Sindh's match against Central Punjab.[11] All of the matches in round five of the competition also ended as draws.[12] Conversely, only one match in rounds six and seven ended as a draw, with Sindh winning back-to-back matches to lead the table.[13]
Ahead of the tenth and final round of matches, four teams were still in contention of reaching the final.[14] In the tenth round of fixtures, Mohammad Huraira of Northern scored his maiden triple century in first-class cricket.[15][16] Following the completion of the group stage matches, Northern and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa finished first and second respectively to advance to the final of the tournament.[17] Khyber Pakhtunkhwa won the tournament, beating Northern by 169 runs in the final.[18]
