"Low" is an understatement
Or may be an over-statement
Stadium is empty.

I was trying to be polite.![]()
No it's still called an understatement. Over statement would be if he said there are 0 people in the crowd.
What happened to those crazed, slogan yelling Pakistan fans who used to turn up in their thousands during the Sharjah matches in the 1990s?
I think Sethi and co need to think about this,
Sharjah and Abu Dhabi are good venues for all group games.
Dubai for Semi finals and play offs
Lahore/Karachi for final
Well this is Dubai, there are not many Pakistani bachelors here compared to Sharjah, mostly Indians.
The two cities are barely 30 kms apart.
Surely some people could have made the trip, at least on a saturday evening?
The PCB should consider England as an alternative
Saturday evening. Crowd size is abysmal. Cannot believe this
IPL was also there once in Dubai in 2010 I think. Was there more crowd in stadium than PSL? I think it would have been more due to Indians and Bollywood cheerleading!
IPL matches in Dubai were jam-packed, almost all full houses, even the high ranking Dubai and other UAE ministers used to attend the matches and give interviews about increasing ties between India and UAE.
IPL was quite poor in SA though

Who said IPL is more entertaining than PSL

Tickets are pricey too. It adds up for a family for decent seats. A family of 4 ends up paying $70 plus overpriced food. Which is OK for one or two days but not more. PSL should be free or nominal prices.
Plus who wants to pay that much to watch Hafeez, Shoaib, Sami?
Towards the end of the tournament, you get more people - when it gets more meaningful.
Even then do not expect more than 25% full. This is UAE.

Video don't seem to work, looks like someone is twerking![]()
Last game and today seems like better attendances. Is it jam packed today?
Its a full house todsy for KK vs MS.
Its a full house todsy for KK vs MS.
it seems like 60% full right now
also its raining
Even the low profile India SL match got a full house today.
That's because the home team was playing. The next Ind-Bangladesh match was empty.
Crux is if it's Pakistani league.. It has to be in Pakistan. I remember one season of IPL in SA was so stupid
