Pakistan played an all-important match against arch-rivals India as they start their ICC T20 World Cup campaign at Melbourne Cricket Ground. India won the toss and elected to bowl first. Pakistan struggled to give a perfect start as Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan went to the pavilion earlier because of the crucial bowling by Arshdeep Singh.
Shan Masood and Iftikhar Ahmed stood like a brick wall against the Indian fast bowlers and created a 50-runs partnership to set the innings for Pakistan. This partnership was the reason that Pakistan was able to reach 150+ runs. Iftikhar Ahmed scored 51 from 34 balls with two fours and four massive sixes to his name.
The 32-years-old went on to score a half-century that came from his bat after three years. Iftikhar registered his maiden T20I fifty as well in Australia during 2019. Iftikhar received praise from the neitizens for his crucial knock of 34-balls 51 runs. “CHACHA” was trending on Twitter with more than 5 thousand tweets. Fans were shocked by his fine innings.
