PSL 2017 final showdown: opening ceremony begins

Actors Ahmed Ali Butt and Ayesha Omer are hosting the ceremony which precedes the hotly-anticipated clash between the Quetta Gladiators and the Peshawar Zalmi.

Singer Ali Zafar took to the stage to perform his PSL song ‘Ab Khel Jamay Ga’ surrounded by traditional dancers. Fakhir followed his act with old favourite ‘Tere Bina Dil Na Lagay’.

The Peshawar Zalmi took a round of the stadium before a performance by band Overload.

Band frontman Farhad Humayun took the opportunity to make a political statement. “We will continue playing cricket here,” he told a charged crowd.

“We will continue playing our music here, and our families and kids will go to parks and enjoy themselves,” he said, before chanting ‘Lal Shahbaz Qalandar’ and taking up the drums alongside dhol walas beating their dhols.
