Will crowds turn up for PSL X with the Pakistan team playing so poorly?

The only shock so far has been the Multan stadium. My expectation was that it would be full to the rafters but that hasn't happened at all. No one expected crowd to show up in NSK & it didn't but Multan not showing up is weird. Have no clue what's the reason for this, maybe stringent security, inflation impact, or just plain old bad marketing from PCB. Whatever the reason, this is not acceptable.

PCB did not market the PSL very heavily this time. They have the attitude cricket is the only main sport in the country so it will sell itself. Also the poor performance by the Pakistani team and players has not helped matters either.

This is how the national stadium should look like. The roofs make no sense, they just impede the viewing experience.

How hard is it fill up a stadium of capacity of 20k ?

Crowd hasn't turned up so far in Gaddafi Stadium Lahore to witness QG vs KK in PSL X.

Not much hustle in Gaddafi today as compared to vibrance tomorrow.

Babar Azam playing yesterday was a factor. Lahore Qalandars if they keep performing poorly will result in the Lahore leg being disappointing.

I don't remember PSL9 from last year (didn't follow it as seriously) but generally the crowds have been decent. This is not a good look for our cricket. A friend of mine bought her ticket for 30K to go to NSK when the league came back to Pak, now she's not even interested in watching it on the television.

I know we are all entering in the middle age phase of our lives with more responsibility weighing us down but this is a terrible thing because all our purchasing power is now moving away from cricket. Compare this to football & how people continue to spend more & more for their interest as their age progresses.
