Even Test matches were better than this 

PSL 2020 match without a crowd looks like a Test match in Dubai.

—Qasim Iftikhar 



We mustn't be hasty 

Seriously, I don't really care about my life. I just want tickets to see Lala play live. 

—Aamna Hassan Fasihi



Faux stadium noises could just be it 

At least the stadium should play crowd sounds in the background so that there's some energy.

—Aqsa Tirmizi



When reality hits hard 

Afridi’s six in pin drop silence!?!?! I knew this isn’t a good time to be alive.

—Sabahat Naseem



Seeing is believing  

No noise over Afridi's sixes. It's unthinkable.

—Yellow Storm



Our saviour 

Only Shahid Afridi’s batting can uplift our mood.

— Maham



Ours can't either

You don't know if its a boundary. There are no chants when a wicket falls. There is no chaos after seeing your favorite player at the boundary. No one shouts when a review fails. Its deeply heartbreaking. My heart can't see this.

—Sehrish 



Maybe that's good for him?

Parchi is perfoming when there is no crowd. 

—Ahmed Tareen



Cancel brigade is back

An empty stadium is such a sad sight. They should have suspended the matches rather than carrying on! 

—Ayesha Khanzada



Just keep swimming 

Drowned in a sea of emotion after seeing an empty stadium.

—Saqlain Kazmi
