That was a bit awkward when it randomly turned off. The crowd saved the anthem, and indeed scenes were even more patriotic.

Best part of the day IMO.Spine-tingling.Must have been 100x better if you were there in the crowd.

 

[DeadBall]

Players and crowd turned up to hide the many technical blemishes. Selfie looked extra patriotic. Good going.

May have been planned, I've seen this done in other sports where they turn off the sound and the crowd continues singing. Definitely added to the magic of the night!

Expect him to wear green face paint next time when he walks out to bat.

 

[Markhor]

Thought it was by design.

Always makes it more special when you let the crowd sing for themselves.

To be fair, that's something only Umar Akmal would do and not Shehzad.

Reminded me of the Italian football team singing their anthem during the WC. It's always great to see!
