Former Pakistan bowling coach Waqar Younis lauded the national team for beating the Indian team by 10 wickets in their recent match of the T20 World Cup 2021 in Dubai on Sunday. Pakistan, led by Babar Azam, cleaned house against Virat Kohli and co. and gained two important points while creating history as well.
With this win, Pakistan broke a 29-year-old streak of losing in World Cup matches against India as unbeaten half-centuries from captain Babar Azam and keeper-batter Mohammad Rizwan helped Pakistan overhaul the 152-run target with ease after Shaheen Afridi’s three wickets had broken Indian batting’s spine.
