It will be a visual treat for fans watching the Champions Trophy matches on TV or mobile as a minimum of 36 cameras will be used to capture the action, complemented by analytical tools and visual enhancements. According to the ICC, these visual enhancements will significantly elevate the viewing experience.

"To further enrich the viewing experience, the Quidich Innovation Labs will deliver Field 360°, a virtual field model that illustrates fielding positions and strategies in real-time," the ICC said in a statement on Tuesday on the eve of opening match between New Zealand and Pakistan in Karachi.
