The PSL 8 exhibition game was exciting to watch.
Earlier in February, a blast occurred close to the Nawab Akbar Bugti Stadium in Quetta during a PSL exhibition game between the Quetta Gladiators and Peshawar Zalmi. Up to five people were hurt in the blast that happened in the Police Lines neighborhood. Notably, the match was held there because Baloch supporters asked for Quetta to host a PSL game.
Peshawar Zalmi featured some of Pakistan’s best cricketers, including captain Babar Azam and former captain Shahid Afridi. The game was abandoned as a result of the explosion, and all of the players were taken to the locker room in safety. Later, the illegal Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) claimed responsibility for the incident and stated that the security personnel were their intended targets.
