Rain, Hail Disrupt Lahore

- A massive storm hit Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore yesterday, forcing an indefinite delay to the PSL match between Islamabad United and Peshawar Zalmi, characterized by heavy rains and "powerful gusts of wind."

- Adding to a packed schedule, this weather disruption follows recent drama involving player Fakhar Zaman's suspension, complicating the PSL's high-intensity season.
