In pictures: Islamabad United win PSL with Karachi back on cricket map

The PSL final is seen as a major step towards reviving international cricket in the country.

The stands of Karachi's National Stadium roared with chants from a packed holiday crowd as international cricket returned to the metropolis after a nine-year break with the final of Pakistan Super League on Sunday.

  • The PSL final — in which Islamabad United beat title holders Peshawar Zalmi by three wickets — is seen as a major step towards reviving international cricket in the country, suspended since 2009 attacks on the Sri Lankan team bus in Lahore.

    Islamabad, who won the title in the inaugural year in 2016, rode on a brisk 26-ball 52 by Luke Ronchi spiced with five sixes and four boundaries which anchored his team's successful chase of 149-run target in 16.5 overs.

    Ronchi also finished as top run-getter with 435 runs in 11 matches. Asif Ali smashed three sixes in his 26 not out.
