MULTAN: After a long gap of 12 years, Multan is set to host a high-profile cricket match with home team Multan Sultans taking on Peshawar Zalmi in their HBL Pakistan Super League match on Wednesday.

After the Pakistan Cricket Board announced that the PSL will be staged in the country in its entirety, Multan was selected to host three matches while Rawalpindi — for the first time as well — and Karachi and Lahore were finalised as the other venues.

As the City of Saints expects three action packed fixtures featuring their home side, the atmosphere is festive. Huge signboards and promotional artwork have also been placed at different locations of the city.

With only three out of 34 PSL matches to be played at the venue, the fans’ desperate pursuit for tickets is another theme of cricket coming back to Multan
