The Sindh government on Friday beefed up security of the National Bank Cricket Arena where Pakistan Super League (PSL) teams Lahore Qalandars and Quetta Gladiators were conducting their practice sessions, Aaj News reported.
Training sessions of both teams have been postponed, however, the decision of their return to hotels would be taken after reviewing the security situation.
The development comes following a terrorist attack on a police office at Karachi's Shahrah-e-Faisal, the latest attack on security forces as terror incidents see an uptick across the country.
When your favourite team is losing but their performance is so viciously good, you can’t really complain. Such was the outcome of the Quetta Gladiators versus Peshawar Zalmi match when pacer Mohammad Hasnain took to the field with his fiery bowling. The game got even more dangerous for Zalmi when Hasnain was accompanied by Naseem Shah.
In the ninth PSL match on Monday, the Gladiators managed to set a competitive target of 155 against Zalmi. But after Hasnain struck twice on consecutive balls to cancel out Mohammad Haris’ early onslaught, Peshawar ensured they never stopped attacking. They won by four wickets with nine balls left yet all fans are concerned with are Hasnain’s bowling, his partnership with Shah and his overall performance.
