A sweet video that shows Pakistan captain Bismah Maroof dedicating her half-century to daughter Fatima during her side’s ICC Cricket World Cup 2022 fixture is viral.
The viral clip sees the left-handed batter raising her bat for celebrating her fifty against Australia. She then looks towards the dressing room and puts her bat on the ground.
She imitated rocking a baby, who was cheering in the pavilion.
The sweet gesture by the mother-daughter made it one of the plays of the day.
Here’s how social media reacted.
