Pakistan Super League 2026 started behind closed doors on Thursday. It is being played without spectators due to the West Asia crisis and fuel shortage as well as security reasons. However, this league was exposed in the very first match. On Thursday, the team of Shaheen Afridi-led Lahore Qalandars and Marnus Labuschagne-led Hyderabad Kingsmen were face to face. However, the match was one-sided and full of controversies. In this match, PSL and entire Pakistan got embarrassed.
Actually, during the Lahore innings, the color of the white ball suddenly changed and the ball became pink and then gradually turned red. After this the umpire had to change the ball. The incident of the ball changing color is the first time in cricket history. Pakistani fans themselves are making fun of how the white ball match suddenly turned into a pink ball match. In this match, Lahore defeated Hyderabad by 69 runs. Batting first, Lahore scored 199 runs for six wickets in 20 overs. In reply, Hyderabad Kingsmen team could score only 130 runs.
