PAK vs NZ 2023: Free entry for fans for the 2nd Test in Karachi - PCB
In a step to encourage fans to come and watch Test cricketlive inside the stadium, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) announced free entry for all the fans for the second Test between Pakistanand New Zealand at the National Cricket Stadium in Karachi, starting January 2nd. During the drawn first Test at the same venue, the PCB failed to attract crowd as most of the stands remained empty throughout the game.
Now for the second Test, the board has given fans the leverage to come and sit wherever they want – be it in the premium or even first-class stands. While the cricket lovers can only enter inside the stadium if they bring their original CNIC or B-form.

As per the Dawn, the board has also approached schools and other educational institutions asking them to send children and youngsters to watch the second Test live at the National Stadium.
Meanwhile, Pakistan has struggled to put up applaudable performances in Tests at home this year. After losing to Australia early this year, Pakistan was whitewashed by the touring England team (3-0). Against the Kiwis in the first Test, Babar Azam-led side struggled to dominate once again as they narrowly escaped yet another loss on the home soil.
Given the next Test will take place next year in 2023, Pakistan team and its fans will be hoping for an improved performance.
