ISLAMABAD, Oct 24 (FD): Prime Minister Muhammad Shehbaz Sharif on Sunday appreciated the performance of Pakistan’s cricket team against India in the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup being played in Australia.
On his Twitter handle the prime minister posted, “Brilliant effort, Team Pakistan. Great game!”
Similar sentiments were echoed by PML-N Vice President Maryam Nawaz, who appreciated the team for employing efforts while rooting for it for the next match.
“There’s no shame in going down while putting up a valiant fight. It’s the effort that matters and we saw lots of it today. The match was an absolute cliffhanger and could’ve gone anywhere. Buck up Boys & gear up for the next fight!”
The national team had set a target of 160 runs for the arch-rival India in the capacity-filled Melbourne Cricket Stadium, but the Indian team achieved the target in the nerves-rattling last over at the loss of six wickets.
