Sania Mirza was seen in the stadium cheering for husband Shoaib Malik, who smashed a sensational 54 off just 18 balls. Malik smashed a whirlwind fifty to keep Pakistan unbeaten in the Super 12 stage of the tournament.
Malik’s half-century was the fastest ever by a Pakistani batsman in T20I cricket. This was the joint-fastest half-century of the current season of the T20 World Cup. Netizens took to Twitter after seeing Sania Mirza and commented that she is the only Indian to reach to semi-finals. Some said that the only Indian who is genuinely happy to see Pakistan win and qualify for the semifinals is her.
Throughout the game, he hit one 4 and six 6s. Sania and son Izhaan Mirza-Malik cheered him on every time he hit a home run. Screenshots of Sania applauding for Shoaib went popular on Twitter, with fans praising her for being a “lucky charm” for him.
Here are some tweets from fans who reacted upon seeing Sania Mirza in the stadium:
