Meanwhile, during the match, the cricketing fans witness a familiar scene during Pakistan’s fielding. There were 2 Pakistani fielders who slid together to try to stop conceding a century but both failed and India got a boundary.
Pakistan men’s team is also quite famous pulling off these fielding blunders. Watch the video below.
