India won by cheating as usual.
First umpire didn't give the no ball but when #ViratKohli asked him it's a no ball then umpire said Yes Sir it's a No Ball.

A section is also slamming the Men in Green for not playing the game well while others are praising the both teams for displaying the stunning game.
Brilliant effort, Team Pakistan 🇵🇰 👏. Great game!

Pakistan needs a new captain. Babar is a great batsman but can’t not play attacking captainship. That makes Pakistan lose matches.
