This is really heartening to see the amount of crowd in Multan came to support the home team i.e. Multan Sultans, which really played like a Sultan and slowly they have touched the top of the table of the HBL PSL league as of February 28th, 2020.

But the talk of the town in the amount of crowd came to support not Multan but the arrival of cricket in Pakistan, which is really something we missed a lot from our stadiums, apart from that, a decade of exile from staging home games at home taught us a lesson, that home games matter and because of that, now we are treating tests played in our own cities important enough so that Rawalpindi games are almost full stadiums, because if a stadium of 25000 capacity is filled in between 10000 to 15000, than according to the Pakistan Standard with respect to the test matches is deemed to be filled.

| As expected, thirsty stadiums of Multan and Rawalpindi proved they can stage more games within their territory i.e. their stadiums |
T20 games
T20 games aren't exceptions as these games do require crowds to have interests in the game, and that is what we've seen at Multan and Rawalpindi, therefore for the time being, the PCB should stage their home T20I games shuffling in between Karachi, Lahore, Multan, and Rawalpindi, and furthermore develop some more venues like currently they are with Peshawar and in the mean time Rafi Cricket Stadium at Karachi which is expected to seat 50000 capacity and is supposed to be largest cricket stadium with respect to seating capacity in Pakistan, would also be completed and therefore like Mumbai, Colombo and Dhaka, Karachi will also be another city where there would be two international cricketing venues available.
