Umar Ata Bandial, the Chief Justice of Pakistan, has suggested installing a screen to broadcast the highly anticipated T20 World Cup semi-final between Pakistan and New Zealand.
The entire nation is electrified as Pakistan prepares to face New Zealand in the semifinal after the Green Shirts surprise advanced by eliminating Bangladesh.
Tuesday’s hearing of a case involving the NAB Ordinance 1999 amendments at the Supreme Court included discussion of the match.
The attorneys argued against postponing the court’s sessions until Wednesday because Pakistan’s semifinal game must be played on that day.
Attorney Makhdoom Ali Khan asked the court not to postpone the hearing until the game, which would begin at 1pm.
CJP Bandial responded that he was unaware of it at this point.
He suggested that because of the semi-final, we postpone the case hearing scheduled for tomorrow.
At this point, Justice Mansoor Ali Shah responded, “If you don’t mind, we’ll watch the match while you continue making your reasons,” persuading him to save Wednesday because he himself is a fan of cricket.
“Outside the court, let’s erect a screen for the game. I fervently hope Pakistan triumphs in the semifinals “By the time the match is in a favourable scenario, the CJP added, they will wrap up tomorrow’s hearing early.
