A floodlight malfunctioning led to a 20-odd minute stoppage during hosts Pakistan`s encounter against Bangladesh on Wednesday. Bangladesh were all-out for 193 in 38.4 overs and Pakistan had started their chase on time reaching 15 for no loss in five overs when light in one of the towers installed at the Gaddafi Stadium went off.
The exact reason for the malfunction wasn`t known but the match had to be halted for a good 20-minute period with Pakistan openers Imam-ul-Haq and Fakhar Zaman having a chat with the umpires.
