Even Shehbaz Sharif blames Kamran Akmal for PSL3 final outcome

The final of the third edition of Pakistan Super League (PSL) was a memorable event for the Pakistanis and especially for the Karachiites, who witnessed the return of cricket after waiting for nine long years.

However, the catch dropped by Kamran Akmal became the talking point of the finale, after many fans and even his Peshawar Zalmi coach Muhammad Akram said that Islamabad United would have been in pressure if the wicketkeeper had taken the catch of Asif Ali.

Turns out that Punjab Chief Minister Shehbaz Sharif too feels the same way as he expressed similar views on social media. He also congratulated Islamabad United for winning their second PSL title.

“Had Akmal taken the catch, the result might have been different.. Anyway it turned out to be a good game of cricket.. [Congratulations] to Islamabad United.. Thanks to all the players for making this PSL entertaining and so much fun. Good job done by PCB.. Pakistan Zindabad!” Shehbaz said on social media.
