    IND vs PAK: 'So-called female journalist': Ex-Pak skipper's viral tweet after India-Pakistan clash sparks outrage

    The fact that India lost one fielder in the 20th over and that this was due to Pakistan's own error negated his point that the Men in Green had lost one fielder over the previous three overs, which was not well received by cricket fans.

    Digital Desk: On Sunday, August 28, at the Dubai International Stadium, the 2022 Asia Cup got rolling with a historic encounter between India and Pakistan. The Men in Blue defeated the Babar Azam-led team with a five-wicket victory with two balls remaining in what turned out to be a last-over match.

    Team India's star player, Hardik Pandya, put on an outstanding all-around performance. The star all-rounder, Rohit, helped India restrict Pakistan to a score of just 147 after winning the toss and choosing to bowl first. He did this by taking a three-wicket haul after shocking the opposing hitters with a magnificent display of short-pitched bowling.

    He maintained his impressive form with the bat, scoring an unbeaten 17-ball 33 to help India cross the finish line with two balls remaining. By striking a six off the bowling of left-arm spinner Mohammad Nawaz, Hardik put the finishing touches on the task.

    After the game, both teams received accolades for their efforts, but an old Pakistani spinner's tweet quickly gained popularity online. Ahmed attacked an unnamed "female journalist" while attempting to defend the Pakistani squad for their efforts.

    The fact that India lost one fielder in the 20th over and that this was due to Pakistan's own error negated his point that the Men in Green had lost one fielder over the previous three overs, which was not well received by cricket fans.

    The Pakistan wicket-keeper said, "Pak had the disadvantage after 17th over; 5 fielders were within the circle due to slow over rate & 1 of the so-called female journalists on national TV slamming the Pakistan squad after a fierce match & stating na run karte hai na catch pakarte hai kamal hai bhi."
