Broadcast failures disrupted coverage of the PSL 2026 match between Islamabad United and Quetta Gladiators, with major technical issues affecting viewers throughout the game.
The on screen scorecard disappeared entirely during the final overs, leaving audiences unable to track required runs, player statistics, or match situation at a decisive stage.
Viewers also reported repeated scoring errors, where doubles were incorrectly displayed as dot balls, while runs were frequently assigned to the wrong players.
Delays between live action and scoreboard updates further compounded confusion, making it difficult for audiences to follow the match through official television and digital coverage platforms.
