Pakistani cricket fans are silhouetted as they watch the hugely anticipated final of its domestic cricket league, the Pakistan Super League (PSL), on a large projector screen in Karachi, Pakistan March 5, 2017.

A tour by Zimbabwe's cricket team in 2015 was almost disrupted when a suicide bomber killed two security officials near a stadium.
