Karachi witnessed heavy rains on Friday and the National Bank Stadium, just like the majority of the city, became its victim as the rainwater surrounded the stadium’s gates.

The rain in Karachi brought the city's drainage system to a standstill.

Due to the water not draining properly, a substantial amount of rainwater gathered at Gate No. 12. While efforts were made to clear the gate, due to the drains not being clean, the roads started to resemble ponds.

This led to significant inconvenience for vehicles passing through, prompting efforts to search for sweepers to clean the drains and alleviate the situation.

Despite attempts to find sweepers to clean the drains and facilitate proper drainage, the intense rainfall in the city worsened the situation.

To address the situation and facilitate the possibility of hosting upcoming Pakistan Super League (PSL) matches and managing the imminent rainfall, the Sindh government has deployed a rain emergency team in front of the National Stadium.

Remember, Karachi Kings will host Multan Sultans on March 3 at the stadium as Shan Masood’s men aim to fight back after suffering a narrow defeat against Quetta Gladiators.
