Cricket runs in the blood of Pakistanis. This love-hate relationship is what keeps Pakistani fans crazy for cricket. Last year, Pakistan Super League was celebrated in full swing. We loved seeing international players in our favorite city’s team squad and we loved how dedicated they were.
For example, when Sir Vivian Richard couldn’t control his emotions during Peshawar Zalmi Vs. Quetta Gladiators playoff.

And when all the Pakistani and international commentators wore the national dress of our country.

The opening of the second edition of PSL took place last night in full swing. The super energetic crowd and the performances by musicians made the PSL opening extremely beautiful.

Did We Mention How Handsome Misbah And Islamabad United Looked In Green Shalwar Kameez in PSL Opening?
Damn Misbah is looking dashing in our National attire plus that beard.! Awesome opening ceremony hosted by Fahad Mustafa.! #AbKhelJamayGa

I love how Islamabad United choose to wear Shalwar Kameez over the team kit. They stood out compared to all other teams.

Moving on, Islamabad United won the toss and decided to field first. Much to our surprise, Peshawar Zalmi started off with an extremely fine innings, takes to our very own Kamran Akmal.
HAHAHAHAHAHA
Kamran Akmal making people rich tonight. Catch a crore. #PSL2017

He Was Super Charged
Kammi deserved a century. He showed glimpse of 2006’s Kamran Akmal today.
— Ashar Ahsan (@AsharAhsan) February 9, 2017
Unfortunate enough, he was bowled out on 88 runs.
Turn by turn players came and went. However, the innings of Afridi left quite a mark on Pakistanis yet again.
Pretty sure Shahid Afridi will ask Fahad Mustafa to give him a bike

Just As He Had Come, He Was Bowled Out…Nothing New When We Are Talking About Afridi Tho

Aside from Afridi, Hafeez Left Quite An Impression Too…
That stage lasted more on the ground than Hafeez will whole tournament.

By the end of Zalmi’s innings, the target was of 190 runs. With people having their doubts whether Islamabad United would be able to chase it or not, the thrill continued. In the meantime, Islamabad United’s Twitter account was making everyone..crazy.

7 off 6.

People felt the account is being run by 16 year old…
Blaming all Muslims for terrorism is like blaming the entire Islamabad United fanbase for the Islamabad United official twitter account.

Despite all the sleep jokes people were making on Islamabadis, the moment they won the match was extremely divine. Playing a decent innings without any struggle, Misbah’s strong side dominated the game in a powerful manner, especially Haddin.
GET IN HADDIN!!! ❤️ #PSL2017

With a smooth victory, this is how the first match concluded. But picture abhy kafi baqi hai, dost.
