Throughout the play on the first day, users placed bets while the match was being live-streamed, with PCB’s logo also visible on the left side of the video.

Note that PCB’s sponsorship contract is only with sky247.net but the sponsor, in violation of its contract with the board, is live streaming the match on its betting website- sky247.net.

When contacted, PCB’s Media Director, Sami-ul-Hasan Burney, said that the board is looking into the matter as Pakistan’s laws prohibit companies linked with betting and alcoholic beverages from sponsoring cricket events.

He added that PCB commercial contracts also include a clause that requires sponsors to respect the national cultural and religious values.
