LAHORE – Social sites are bombarded with greetings for Men in Green who crushed New Zealand at the Sydney cricket ground to book spot in T20 World Cup final.
As Babar-led squad outclassed the New Zealand team, celebrities, politicians, cricketers and commentators took to social sites to shower praise on the squad, which earlier lost all the hopes.
Team Green was written off after last-ball defeats to Men in Blue and Zimbabwe but managed to scrape through. Dutch’s miracle win over South Africa also rekindled chances for Pakistan.
Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif wrote, “Passion, commitment & discipline Well done Team Pakistan for an incredible comeback.”
