ADVERTISEMENTFrom the bustling Zainab Market in Saddar to the old commercial lanes of Lighthouse, demand for Pakistan team jerseys, caps and armbands has surged sharply. "Since yesterday the rush has exploded and the demand is higher than we have seen before any Pakistan and India match," Qasim said. “Since the Pakistanis living or working abroad have more buying power they go for the official merchandise online but we are facing deadline problems clearing up the orders,” Zeeshan Malik said. To compete with the official online merchandise, some companies are also selling specially designed shirts for the match priced between 2,000 and 3,000 rupees. The hype is not limited to team merchandise.
