In February last year, Gwadar, the largest port city in the province, hosted its first-ever exhibition match played between Showbiz Sharks and Gwadar Dolphins.

The exhibition match — organised by singer, actor and TV presenter Fakhr-e-Alam in the lush green stadium of Gwadar near the coast — was dedicated to Pakistan's iconic mountaineer Muhammad Ali Sadpara who was declared dead by his family and authorities earlier.
