The high-voltage India vs Pakistan final at the Dubai International Stadium was briefly halted due to floodlight issues. A section of lights over the leg-side boundary went off, causing visibility concerns for the players.
Adding to the drama, chants of “Afridi, Afridi” echoed through the stands, prompting Shubman Gill to speak to the umpire about crowd disturbance. Unlike most venues, Dubai’s floodlights are roof-mounted, making any glitch immediately noticeable.
At the time of interruption, India were struggling at 11/2 in their chase of 147, with pressure already mounting on the batting side.
