Today’s match which was held in Karachi also featured West Indian stars Dwayne Bravo, Darren Sammy and Kieron Pollard. Karachi Kings and Quetta Gladiators clashed at the National Stadium. The match turned out to be a real thriller, and Karachi Kings stunned Quetta Gladiators, securing victory by a single run.

Shahid Afridi hails overseas players for coming to PSL

Former Pakistan captain Shahid Afridi has hailed the coming of foreign players. PSL features more than 45 overseas players. Shahid Afridi was all praise for the Pakistan Security forces who have taken significant steps to ensure any terror incidents do not mar the PSL matches.

The smooth conduct of the matches will help in the eventual return of competitive cricket to Pakistan. Shahid said that whenever competitive cricket returns, these players will be credited for bringing cricket to this nation.
