How great was it to see a cricket legend from 26 years ago cheering on the players.
The man who bowled two magical deliveries on this day 26 years ago at MCG to give Pakistan a World Cup will be calling the PSL Final tonight. The one true bhai. #WC1992 #PSLFinalinKarachi pic.twitter.com/gpi8ojS9W0

Karachi, we’re super proud that the National Stadium was occupied by thousands of spectators supporting our favorite sport!
All memes and jokes aside, karachi walo Mubarak ho. I am very happy that Quaid ka shehar is finally getting to be alive again with such a great event. I am not from Karachi but can feel the joy running through the entire city. Long Live Karachi, Long live Pakistan.

Everyone agreed that PSL matches should always be played in Pakistan.
Crowd scenes in #Karachi are amazing. Makes one wonder why more PSL matches aren't played in Pak. #PSLFinalinKarachi #KugelmanKiCricket
