Australia were off to a disastrous start. They were reeling at 47 for 3 after losing the David Warner, Mitchell Marsh, and David Warner cheaply wickets. However, a stunning century from Travis Head and a half-century from Marnus Labuschagne helped Australia to chase down the total in 43 overs. Head scored 137 off 120 balls while Labuschagne scored 58 off 110 balls.

Irfan Pathan Dance With Harbhajan Singh to Celebrate Afghanistan’s win Against Sri Lanka

Pathan’s gesture didn’t go well with many in Pakistan including Kamran Akmal. He had criticized the Indian all-rounder for dancing on live TV.

“I was surprised at the Irfan Pathan dance,” Kamran Akmal told Ary News. “I remember India beating Pakistan in Australia; even then, this kind of happiness wasn’t seen. But there seems to be greater joy in Afghanistan defeating Pakistan. It was sad to see—not just for me but for the nation. The broadcasters should think about this neutral commentators shouldn’t do this.”
