Islamabad (Pakistan Point News – 27th June, 2019) Prime Minister Imran Khan has congratulated Pakistan team over their massive win against the unbeatable New Zealand.
Soon after the match, the prime minister took to Twitter to laud Pakistan team’s performance.
“Congratulations to our cricket team for a great comeback,” he said.
He especially congratulated to Babar Azam, Haris Sohail and Shaheen Shah Afridi for their brilliant performances.
Pakistan kept alive their chances of reaching the World Cup semi-finals on Wednesday, cruising to a six-wicket win against previously unbeaten New Zealand at Edgbaston.
New Zealand scored 237 for six in their 50 overs but that total proved inadequate as Babar Azam scored an impressive unbeaten century and Haris Sohail (68) offered valuable support.
Pakistan, who beat South Africa on Sunday to revive their flagging World Cup campaign, now have seven points, level with fifth-placed Bangladesh and just one point behind hosts England.
New Zealand are second in the table on 11 points behind Australia, the only team who have qualified so far.
The top four teams qualify for the semi-finals.
