In the third match of the tri-nation series, Pakistan’s record-breaking chase left Indian media and YouTubers stunned.
At Karachi’s National Stadium, Pakistan successfully chased down South Africa’s massive target of 353 runs with just one over to spare, losing only four wickets.
Captain Mohammad Rizwan played an unbeaten knock of 122 runs, while Salman Ali Agha smashed 134 runs with 16 fours and 2 sixes. The duo set a record-breaking 260-run partnership for the fourth wicket, securing victory for Pakistan.
Rizwan and Salman shattered multiple records in this match, but their triumph left Indian media in shock.
Indian fans acknowledged that both Pakistan and India gaining form ahead of the Champions Trophy is a positive sign, anticipating a thrilling clash between the two arch-rivals on February 23.
Indian journalist Vikrant Gupta, Sports Yaari, and other social media platforms praised the Pakistani players, with Salman Agha even being compared to Javed Miandad as a lower middle-order sensation by Indian cricket enthusiasts.
