cricket match

LAHORE, Pakistan (Reuters) - Pakistan tightened security in the city of Lahore ahead of a final domestic cricket match on Sunday after it decided to go ahead with the match on its soil despite escalating violence by Islamist militants.
The government hosted the final of the Pakistan Premier League cricket after a series of militant attacks killed more than 130 people last month, including a suicide bombing in Lahore that killed at least 13 people.
All Premier League cricket matches have been held so far in the UAE due to security concerns.
"The government has prepared a tight security plan" for the evening game, which is expected to end after midnight (1900 GMT), Rana Sinnallah, minister of law in Punjab and its capital, Lahore, told Reuters.
He said nearly 4,000 police would patrol the area and the public would have to pass through five security checks before entering the stadium, which can accommodate 25,000 spectators.
