Since then, Pakistan have been forced to play designated "home" matches primarily in the UAE. After Sunday's game, jubilant Pakistani fans exiting the stadium danced and played drums on the streets of Lahore. Security for Sunday's match comprised 16,000 police officials and over 250 surveillance vehicles deployed around Lahore's Gaddafi Stadium, a police official said.It was great to see cricket back in Pakistan. Wonderful atmosphere and was good to see the @TheRealPCB players play at home.
