Pakistani singers set to shine at PSL closing ceremony

Ali Zafar, Strings and Shehzad Roy ready to set the stage on fire tonight

Today is the day. Pakistan Super League (PSL) that initiated in 2016 has come a long way, finally making it to Karachi this year. With cricket coming back home, the closing ceremony of PSL had to be one that wows the audiences and revive the spirit of the game that took a back seat after the attack on Sri Lankan players a few years ago.

In order to close this years’ installment, PSL released the line up of artists that are all set to perform on stage tonight. While the opening ceremony held in Dubai saw some international celebrities over the years such as Shaggy, Sean Paul and Jason Derulo, none of them will be a part of the conclusion tonight.

However, the inclusion of some of the biggest Pakistani musicians performing tonight is sure to make it up for their absence.

Wow! Karachi see you on the closing ceremony! https://t.co/4ywxjEWLa9

Ali Zafar has been a part of PSL since its inception. Releasing a new anthem every year, Zafar managed to make sure that every Pakistani - and some global fans - hum to his tunes.

At the final match that is to be held between Peshawar Zalmi and Islamabad United tonight, Zafar will once again keep his promise and set the stage on fire with his performance. *cue crowd chanting to Dil Se Jaan Laga De*


Next up: Shehzad Roy - the ageless singer - will be taking it up a notch. Much like Zafar, the Sitara-e-Imtiaz recipient has also been a part of PSL since last year producing songs for Karachi Kings.

So it comes as no surprise that he would be present at the closing ceremony taking place tonight.


National Stadium will also be host to Farhan Saeed and Aima Baig tonight. With special performances lined up, the two will aid uplifting fans' spirits and make for an unforgettable cricketing experience.


The evergreen Strings has been a part of Pakistani cricket for long as one can remember. From creating anthems for the team during world cup matches, Strings songs are still remembered to this day.

The dynamic duo of Faisal Kapadia and Bilal Maqsood who celebrate three decades of creating music this year, will be seen lighting up the stage tonight to close PSL 2018.

Who wouldn't want to be a part of recreating history with this foot-tapping artist line up. After all, Hai Koi Hum Jesa?
