LAHORE: Stars lit up the Pakistan Super League (PSL) 11 closing ceremony as a host of leading performers dazzled a packed Gaddafi Stadium on Sunday night.
The glittering ceremony — which took place before the final match — featured electrifying performances, with Ali Azmat energising the crowd with several hits, including his iconic Jush-e-Junoon, while Arif Lohar enthralled spectators with renditions of favourites such as Sadke Jawan.
The final act brought together Aima Baig, Atif Aslam, Daniya Kanwal and the Sabri Sisters, who performed the PSL anthem, drawing loud cheers from the audience.
A vibrant fireworks display further heightened the atmosphere, while a special segment showcasing the PSL trophy added to the spectacle. Legendary cricketer Wasim Akram was among the presenters at the ceremony.
Presenters also highlighted the significance of the occasion, noting that despite earlier hurdles which kept fans away, the stadium was now filled, which is a testament to the enduring passion for the league.
Spectators had initially been barred from attending matches due to fuel conservation measures introduced by the government amid rising global oil prices. However, authorities later granted approval for fans to attend the final and the three playoff matches.
