Pakistan was struggling at 95-5 at the 13-over mark against South Africa in their T20 World Cup game at Sydney Cricket Ground. From here, the Pakistan duo of Shan Masood and Iftikar Ahmed stitched up a scintillating 82-run partnership to bail the Men in Green out of trouble and set up a massive 186-run target for the Proteas.
Reacting to this resounding comeback, former Pakistan fast bowler Shoaib Akhtar praised his team while taunting India as they lost to South Africa in the T20 World Cup. Akhtar posted a video on his social media where he talked about how other teams failed to perform against South Africa but Pakistan managed to come back despite being in a losing position.
He went on to indirectly hit India who lost to South Africa in their third T20 World Cup game on Sunday (October 30).

Akhtar has been extremely vocal throughout the World Cup where he has expressed his views on the games played by Pakistan and India. Yesterday, As the Men in Blue defeated Bangladesh, Akhtar posted a clip where he showered praise for Indian batter Virat Kohli, who scored 64 in 44 balls with eight fours and one six at a strike rate of 145.45.
Kohli also went on to win the Player of the match award. Akhtar said, "This T20 World Cup is all about Virat Kohli. Today also, he made 64 runs and India made 184. If God wills it, then it happens. He was down for about three years and now he's the top-scorer of this T20 World Cup. The World Cup is being played for him only.”
