Sania Mirza cheered from the stands as her husband Shoaib Malik took his team home against New Zealand in Abu Dhabi. Sania went to Sharjah to watch the action live. Mirza had earlier informed her fans that she is going to UAE with her daughter through a Twitter post. It is interesting that he decided not to watch India vs Pakistan in Dubai just 48 hours ago. Meanwhile, Mirza was seen cheering her husband sitting on the stand. Malik remained calm and stood tall in a tense chase. He set himself up and went on to score 27 off 20 which included a huge six.
A win against New Zealand will help Pakistan reach the semi-finals. They had defeated their arch-rivals India by ten wickets in their opening match. The Men in Green will be up against the likes of Scotland, Namibia and Afghanistan which shouldn’t be a big deal. But let’s not forget Kohli and his men who will now have to win against New Zealand to strengthen the conditions for Pakistan.

Earlier, a sensational bowling performance from Haris Rauf (4/22) saw Pakistan restrict New Zealand to 134/8 in the Super 12 match of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2021 at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium here on Tuesday. Apart from Rauf, fellow pacers Shaheen Shah Afridi, Imad Wasim and Hafeez took a wicket each on the sluggish Sharjah pitch.
Electing to bat first, New Zealand had a slow start. They were 42-1 after the end of the powerplay in the pavilion with opener Martin Guptill (17). Another Kiwi opener Daryl Mitchell (27) also struggled to score freely and was dismissed by Imad Wasim in the 9th over of the innings. Jimmy Neesham’s mid-travel lasted only two balls as Hafeez relieved him at the midpoint of the innings to leave New Zealand 60/3.
