PSL 9: PCB Chairman Mohsin Naqvi surprised by low crowd attendance in Karachi
Naqvi said that PCB will look to find a solution in future
Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) Chairman Mohsin Naqvi is surprised with the less crowd attendance during the Pakistan Super League (PSL) season nine matches in Karachi.
National Bank Cricket Arena hosted 11 matches and apart from the ongoing final between Multan Sultans and Islamabad United, the attendance has been a question mark.
While talking to reporters, Naqvi said that PCB will look to find a solution in future.
"Why stadium were empty in Karachi is a mystery and also a big quiz for me," Naqvi stated.
"A lot of people came to Multan, Lahore, Rawalpindi and it is surprising to me why people didn't come in Karachi. We are trying to find a solution," he added.
It must be noted that the final between Multan Sultans and Islamabad United is currently underway.
Sultans have posted 160-run target after opting to bat first. Usman Khan smashed 40-ball 57 while Iftikhar Ahmed played a cameo of 32 off 20 balls.
Imad Wasim was the star for United, bagging five wickets in his spell while captain Shadab Khan took three wickets for 32.
Islamabad United: Colin Munro, Martin Guptill, Salman Ali Agha, Shadab Khan (c), Azam Khan (wk), Haider Ali, Imad Wasim, Faheem Ashraf, Naseem Shah, Hunain Shah, Tymal Mills
Multan Sultans: Mohammad Rizwan (c & wk), Yasir Khan, Usman Khan, Johnson Charles, Iftikhar Ahmed, Khushdil Shah, Chris Jordan, David Willey, Usama Mir, Mohammad Ali, Abbas Afridi
