Later taking to Instagram, Shaniera posted a selfie with the women cricket team and called them heroes of Pakistan.
She said that these girls are heroic because they don’t just play cricket because they are good at it, they are playing for acceptance, pride, dignity, self-worth, breaking stigmas, equality, empowerment and of course the future.
“They are playing for every girl born in Pakistan that has or will have a passion for sport. They are role models to the highest level!” she wrote.
The Pakistani side had won the toss and opted to bat first; a trend that has been seen in all three matches of the series.
