“Is today Sunday?” written by Pathan.The post was a clear throwback to one of his most talked-about rants on social media last year, when he repeatedly mocked Pakistan after India beat the Man in Green in three consecutive T20Is on Sunday.On that occasion, Pathan posted “Sunday kaisa raha padosiyo” after Indian victories, making the phrase a recurring taunt directed at Pakistan.

India’s spin twins leave Pakistan in shambles

Pathan’s latest contribution came after India completely dominated Pakistan in the Women’s Asia Cup match where young spinners Shree Charani and Prema Rawat played the leading roles.Pakistan were bowled out for just 55 in 18.1 overs, their lowest total in T20 cricket. India’s spin attack dismantled Pakistan’s batting line-up after Harmanpreet Kaur decided to introduce her spinners once she realized the pitch offered a turn.Charani, the 22-year-old orthodox left-arm spinner, finished with impressive figures of 3/7 from four overs, while 24-year-old spinner Prema Rawat took 3/9 in her four overs.Shafali Verma chipped in with 1/10 from three overs before Deepti Sharma wrapped things up with 2/5 in 3.1 overs.Pakistan looked comfortable early on, reaching 27 without losing a wicket in just over four overs. Muneeba Ali gave 13 and Shawaal Zulfiqar scored 14 but their dismissal triggered a spectacular collapse.Pakistan lost six wickets for just nine runs and slumped to 36/6 after 10 overs.The Indian bowlers also produced 78 runs during Pakistan’s 18.1 over innings, leaving virtually no room for the opposition to recover.

Harmanpreet creates history before sealing the win

The match was also a milestone for Harmanpreet Kaur, who became the first international captain, male or female, to lead India in 150 T20Is.She marked the achievement with an impressive display of bowling from her team and then completed the chase herself, smashing the winning six down the ground.India reached the target in just 8.4 overs despite losing Shafali Verma for 12, Smriti Mandhana for nine and Pratika Rawal for four.Harmanpreet remained unbeaten at No.18 while Deepti Sharma finished at No.12 as India completed another emphatic win over Pakistan.The result further underlined India’s dominance in the Women’s Asia Cup T20. India have now won seven out of eight matches against Pakistan in the history of the tournament, with Pakistan’s only win coming once.And as India cruised to victory well before the target, Pathan’s “Aaj Sunday hai kya?” quickly became the perfect social media point for yet another completely one-sided India-Pakistan contest.
