The Pakistan Super League’s 10th edition is underway, with a thrilling match between Karachi Kings and Multan Sultans that ended in a 4-wicket win for Karachi.
A Match to Remember
Multan Sultans batted first, scoring 234 runs. Karachi Kings chased down the target in 19.2 overs. James Vince scored a century off just 43 balls, earning him the Player of the Match award.
The real surprise came when Karachi Kings rewarded Vince with a hair dryer. Yes, you read that right – a hair dryer. The team’s social media post showcasing the unusual prize sparked widespread ridicule.
Fan Reactions
Fans took to social media to express their amusement and disappointment. One user joked that next time, the prize could be a lunch box. Another asked if the league was being promoted or embarrassed.
Some fans suggested that the prize should be something more practical, like a dinner set or a water bottle. Others questioned the league’s standards, comparing it unfavorably to the Indian Premier League.
League Overview
The Pakistan Super League’s 10th edition started on April 11 and will run until May 18. Six teams will compete in 34 matches across four stadiums. After four matches, Lahore Qalandars tops the points table.
The league’s organizers might want to rethink their prize-giving strategy to avoid further embarrassment. After all, cricket fans expect more from their heroes than a simple hair dryer.
