Ali Zafar links Lahore Qalandars win to his PSL song 'Mela Loot Liya'

Ali Zafar has credited his PSL song for Lahore Qalandar's first win in Pakistan Super League (PSL-5).

The pop star, who's celebrating the success of his new song, has congratulated Lahore Qalandars for their stunning victory against defending champions Quetta Gladiators in the sixteenth encounter of PSL on Wednesday.

The 'Chal Dil Mere' singer has linked the win to his PSL melody 'Mela Loot Liya', which he released on Sunday (March 1, 2020), enthralling the music and cricket lovers equally.

The singer, in his congratulatory tweet to Qalandars owner Fawad Rana, said that 'Hum ne gaana kya banaya, Rana Sahab jeet gaye. Mubarak' (Rana Saheb has recorded first victory soon after we made a song).

The song became the top hashtag trend on Twitter and attracted over 3 million views on the video sharing website within a day.

Qalandars defeated Gladiators by 37 runs in a high scoring day/night match to change their losing streak in the PSL-5 here at the Gaddafi Stadium, Lahore.

Chasing a mammoth target of 210 runs, the Gladiators were bowled out for 172 in exactly 20 overs.

Left-handed batsman Dunk was the pick of the batsmen as he hammered 93 runs off 43 balls, smashing 10 sixes and three 4s before he got out.
