It all started when renowned young stars Aima Baig and Shuja Haider performed at the PSL inauguration ceremony. The musical night began with the tune of the 1992 World Cup. Boney M also performed on their famous track: Daddy Cool.
Although Pitbull was not able to attend the ceremony other stars had managed to add glamour to the night. Pakistani sweetheart Fawad Khan was the showstopper of the evening with his final performance at the PSL’s main anthem this edition.
