PSL 8: Peshawar win toss, decide to bowl first against Quetta in exhibition match

QUETTA: Peshawar Zalmi captain Babar Azam has won the toss and decided to bowl first against Quetta Gladiators in exhibition match ahead of the Pakistan Super League (PSL) season 8. 

As many as 16 HD cameras, including drone, will be installed to produce live cricket entertainment which will be broadcasted on PTV Sports. 

On the other hand, a special pitch has been prepared for the exhibition match. 

Temporary seats have also been installed in the stands to facilitate fans.

It must be noted here that tickets for the match were sold out within two days.

A security official told geosuper.tv that fans, in large numbers, have been gathering in front of Bugti Stadium's main gate for last couple of days, asking for tickets.

"We are tired of telling them again and again, 'there are no tickets in the stadium'. They are complaining that they didn't know where to get tickets from," he shared.

"We know they are too excited but they need to understand that there is a certain capacity in the stadium. Not everyone can go inside and watch the match. We are having arguments with them for last couple of days. It's getting tough for us," he lamented.
