Excitement and traffic jams both come into the minds of Karachiites when they think about Pakistan Super League (PSL). The locals of the metropolis have to brace themselves for traffic snarl-ups, hiked fares of ride-hailing services, and an overall nuisance.
PSL 6 will be kicked-off on February 20 and the first match of the tournament will be played at National Stadium in Karachi.
When the teams will be contesting against each other inside the stadium, there will be total mayhem outside with blaring horns and stuck ambulances.
The commuters will be racing to return homes but with limited options as many main arteries connecting National Stadium would be blocked using containers or other impediments.
The plight is explained that not only a lawmaker from Karachi suffers but millions of people would daily have to until PSL matches are scheduled in Karachi.
We requested the AIG to look into the matter of blocking roads near hospital but it seems they don’t care.
This is the road just outside two major hospitals in the city. Huge mess !!#PSL2021 #cricket #karachi @KhiTraffic https://t.co/A6qZFm5HI2 pic.twitter.com/mwgq6rDUNM

The suffering in the form of traffic jams during the days of cricket events is not unorthodox for Karachiites and it will be repeated again as PSL 6 is less than a week away.
The commuters are more worried than excited as they fear traffic jams due to road blockage and hiked fares of ride-hailing services like Uber, Careem, etc, nuisance, blaring horns, and whatnot.
