In an unexpected development, the live broadcast of the second ODI between Pakistan and Australia was abruptly halted on the national sports channel, PTV Sports. Sources have indicated that the suspension was due to PTV Sports’ failure to settle a significant payment owed to Tower Sports, the company that holds the exclusive broadcasting rights for the series.
Due to ongoing financial challenges, PTV Sports was unable to clear its dues, resulting in Tower Sports halting the live coverage. Insiders suggest that PTV Sports will not be able to resume broadcasting the matches until the outstanding payment is made.
