KARACHI: Just like Pakistan fans, former Test cricketer Shoaib Akhtar was also keenly following India vs South Africa game in T20 World Cup 2022 today.
Taking to Twitter after India lost quick wickets against South Africa, Akhtar shared his feelings as a Pakistan fan because the green shirts' future in the mega event highly depends on the ongoing game.
"In my video, I told India to not put Pakistan in trouble. But, they have done the destruction here, lost four wickets," worried Akhtar said.
South Africa´s Lungi Ngidi led a fiery pace onslaught to keep India to 133-9 at the Twenty20 World Cup on Sunday, despite an attacking half-century by Suryakumar Yadav.
India won the toss and chose to bat in their bid for a third straight win but the South African quicks made life difficult on a fast and bouncy Perth pitch.
Yadav´s 40-ball 68, laced with six fours and three sixes, helped India recover from 49-5.
Ngidi returned figures of 4-29 off his four overs, ably supported by fellow fast bowler Wayne Parnell who finished with 3-15 after starting the innings with a T20 rarity — a maiden over.
