Nimbus, Ten Sports, Geo Super and PTV Sports are competing for the rights. “Four media groups have bid for the broadcasting rights of the series against South Africa and Sri Lanka,” the Tribune said. “Nimbus and Ten Sports are the main competitors, while Geo Super and PTV Sports are also in contention.”
