ISLAMABAD: The Pakistan Cricket Board received an overwhelming response from millions of cricket-starved fans, even if it didn’t succeed in spotting a new fast bowler or unearth a new batting star in its inaugural professional Twenty20 league in the United Arab Emirates. Islamabad United, led by Pakistan Test captain Misbah-ul-Haq, defeated Quetta Gladiators by six wickets at a packed Dubai International Cricket Stadium on Tuesday to conclude a three-week Pakistan Super League. Millions of fans stayed tuned in across Pakistan until after midnight throughout the tournament, which also featured teams including Pakistan T20 captain Shahid Afridi’s Peshawar Zalmi.
