Najam Sethi, the chairman of the PCB Management Committee, addresses the media on March 18, 2023, during a press conference at Gaddafi Stadium. — APP Following the conclusion of Pakistan’s major cricket competition, the Pakistan Super League (PSL), PCB Management Committee Chairman Najam Sethi asserted that the PSL had outperformed the Indian Premier League (IPL) in terms of digital ratings.
Sethi claimed that the PSL’s digital rating easily outpaced the opulent IPL’s digital rating when speaking at a press conference the day before the championship game. While the Indian league had 130 million fans, the PCB-led league had over 150 million. “Let’s discuss digital. PSL wasn’t even halfway through when I inquired about our digital rating.
IPL previously received a 0.5 rating on TV, whereas PSL receives a rating of above 11. So, when it’s finished, it will be either 18 or 20,” he remarked. Digitally, more than 150 million people watched it. It is not a minor matter. IPL had a digital rating of 130 million at the time, whereas PSL had a rating of more than 150 million. Thus, this is a huge success for Pakistan, he continued. Sethi also discussed how Pakistan’s economic status has improved as a result of the PSL.
“PSL has kept the country’s economy afloat by creating jobs and expanding the tourism, hotel, airline, and road transport businesses,” he stated. We paid the federal government Rs. 700 million in taxes, Rs. 500 million in sales taxes, and another Rs. 500 million in provincial taxes. It should be mentioned that Lahore Qalandars, who defeated Multan Sultans by one run in the exciting final, became the first side to win consecutive PSL championships on Saturday.
After scoring a quick 44 not out, captain Shaheen Shah Afridi took 4-51, but he was forced to perform a run out at the bowler’s end. Khushdil Shah attempted a third run to force Multan into a super over.Before a crowded 25,000-person Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore, the Qalandars had scored 200-6 in their 20 overs, while the Sultans had concluded on 199-8.
Last year’s championship game saw the Qalandars again triumph over the Sultans. Sultans quickly reached 101-1 in 10 overs thanks to Rilee Rossouw (52) and Mohammad Rizwan (34) who added 64 runs for the second wicket. In his first two overs, Shaheen conceded 34 runs. Rossouw only needed 32 balls to smash seven fours and two sixes. But Shaheen came back for a second spell and ejected Usama Mir, Tim David, Kieron Pollard, 19, and Anwar Ali (nought). Shah and Abbas Afridi took 22 from Haris Rauf’s 19th over but failed to collect 13 in the last over, with 35 needed in the final two overs.
