“Well done Pakistan team for an electrifying performance against Australia in the first T20I… It’s a proud moment for the nation,” Sharif wrote.However, Jadeja was quick to respond with a scathing remark that went viral within minutes.“Pakistan-jo ki choti choti khushiya.

On the field, Pakistan made the most of the opportunity ahead of the T20 World Cup, captain Salman Ali Agha leading from the front. Promoted to No.3, Agha smashed a fluent 39, later confirming that the role is locked for the rest of the series and the upcoming ICC Men’s T20 World Cup.“Yes, I will be batting at No. 3. We expect to face a lot of spin and I believe I can dominate the spin during the power-play,” Agha said after the match.Saim Ayub played with bat and ball, scoring 40 at the top and dismissing both Australian openers. Pakistan made 168/8 before stifling Australia’s spin chase by claiming six wickets as the visitors were restricted to 146/8.
