Original review summary

The review found that the viral video was from 2022 and showed security in Karachi for the Pakistan Super League, not the Sri Lankan team’s current tour. It also reports that Pakistan strengthened security for the team after the November 11 Islamabad bombing, so the video was old even though additional security measures were reported.[S1]
