PakvWI: Crowd saves the day as sound system fails during national anthem

KARACHI: The passion and patriotism of cricket lovers saved the Pakistan Cricket Board from a possible embarrassment on Sunday night when the sound system at the National Stadium stopped working while Pakistan’s national anthem was being played.

The sound system malfunctioned when over 25,000 people at the NSK were singing the national anthem just before the start of first T20I between Pakistan and West Indies.

It would have been an embarrassing situation for the PCB and the local organising committee, but the spectators kept on singing the anthem and sang it even more loudly to make it look a beautifully synchronised sequence.
