With Pakistan’s biggest cricketing event just hours away, it is estimated that the opening ceremony of Pakistan Super League (PSL) fifth edition to be held at National Stadium Karachi, would cost a whooping over $1.36 million. As per reports, the figure translates up to roughly 210 million rupees, as the opening ceremony will feature renowned performers and fireworks are expected as well. The cricket-crazy fans in Pakistan will be able to enjoy the whole of their Twenty20 league on home soil for the first time when the star-studded fifth edition begins today in Karachi. The month-long Pakistan Super League (PSL) will see top internationals such as Dale Steyn of South Africa, Shane Watson and Chris Lynn of Australia, West Indian Carlos Brathwaite and England's Alex Hales and Jason Roy among 36 overseas players in six teams. Matches will be shared between Karachi, Rawalpindi, Multan and Lahore after security concerns had caused most games in previous years to be played in the United Arab Emirates, with only the final stages of the last three editions being held at home. The opening match of the fifth edition will be played between defending champions Quetta Gladiators and Islamabad United.
