Mehran Mumtaz receives heroic welcome at home by his mother

Pakistan Shaheens' spinner Mehran Mumtaz was warmly welcomed by his mother at home when he returned with the Asian title. 

Mehran played an important role in Pakistan A team's final victory over arch-rivals India A on July 23 in Colombo, Sri Lanka. 

The cricketer reached home in Rawalpindi where he received a heroic welcome. 

In a video shared by himself on Twitter, he can be seen having a wholesome moment with his mother. 

"Champion on the field, but my mom's love is the real victory. Grateful for her warm welcome after winning the Emerging Asia Cup," he wrote. 

The 20-year-old cricketer bagged two crucial wickets in the final for Pakistan A. He alongside Sufiyan Muqeem (3-66) rattled the opposition after setting them 353-run target. 

Shaheens outclassed India A by 128 runs in the final. While chasing a target of 353 runs, India A were dismissed for 224 runs in 40 overs. 

Spinner Sufiyan caused major trouble troubles for the Men in Blue by taking three important wickets including opener Abhishek Sharma, who scored 61, captain Yash Dull, who was set at 39 off 41, and Harshit Rana, 13, while conceding 66 runs in 10 overs.

For India A, opener Abhishek Sharma was the top run-scorer with 61 runs in 51 balls.

Middle-order batter Tayyab Tahir scored a brilliant century to help Pakistan post a massive total on the board after being asked to bat first.
