The event
was a highly charged one beginning with a Green Carpet area designed as a
cricket pitch where Rafia Rafiq, the host, invited VIPs to take their pictures
against the media wall, and kids got their faces painted with Pakistan and the
teams’ flags and were presented balloons. The whole stadium had an air of
cricket fever with the teams’ flags flying and skylights beckoning everyone to
the stadium. The fences in the stadium were decorated with flags and balloons in
the colours of the teams – maroon and green –and mascots waving flags, men on
stilts, clowns and fire-eaters could be seen all around the stadium, adding a
festive air to the proceedings and boosting the team morale.

The
programme’s proceedings conducted by Anoushay and Dino started with a toss for
the batting team after which two mascots could be seen running into the field,
waving Pakistan’s flags. The teams walked in with little school children
accompanying them and the national anthem was then played. A spectacular laser show
followed and the match then began officially.
Everyone
attending the event was in high spirits, with spectators blowing whistles,
waving pompoms and placards every time a batsman scored a four or a sixer. Nabila
Bano and Rafay’s spectacular performances in between the two innings and
Fakhr-e-Alam’s wonderful entertaining segment, as well as the auction by him
and Anoushay, kept the spectators glued to their seats. The match was won by
Pak cricketers and was followed by the award ceremony.
