Pakistan former all-rounder Mohammad Hafeez on Saturday lauded Fakhar Zaman and Babar for powering the team to a crucial 21-run victory (DLS method) against New Zealand in the high-stakes contest.
Taking to X (formerly known as Twitter), the 43-year-old underscored the importance of today's encounter. ‘’Pakistan winning importantly and keeping hopes alive,” he added.
He commended the intent and aggression that the Pakistan team showcased today, despite knowing they were chasing a mammoth 402-run target against the Kane Williamson-inspired team. “Fortune favours the brave,” he added.
Former Pakistan all-rounder Mohammad Hafeez recently set the cricketing world abuzz with his sharp response to a controversial tweet by former English captain Michael Vaughan.
It all began when Michael Vaughan took to Twitter to share his candid thoughts about the Pakistan national cricket team. In his tweet, Vaughan expressed concern, saying, "I worry about Pakistan tomorrow. It's been too calm these last couple of days. They need someone to resign today or leak a WhatsApp message. #CWC23 #Pakistan." His words, dripping with sarcasm and provocation, instantly caught the attention of the cricketing community.
However, Mohammad Hafeez, known for his strong presence both on and off the field, wasted no time in formulating a response to Vaughan's tweet. Hafeez took a screenshot of the news covering the story of the English cricket team, which was dealing with its own issues, and he used it to construct a pointed response to Vaughan's provocative tweet.
In his reply, Hafeez stated, "Better stop peeping into others' problems and sort out your disputes first. We have sizeable insight into our issues and will surely resolve them."
