It is pertinent to mention that Pakistan registered its third win by defeating Bangladesh by seven wickets on Tuesday at Kolkata’s Eden Gardens to keep alive their slim hopes of making the Cricket World Cup semi-finals.

Chasing just 205 to win, the 1992 champions reached their target with 105 balls to spare and seven wickets intact. Fakhar Zaman made 81 and fellow opener Abdullah Shafique scored 68.

During the fixture, Babar Azam and Haris Rauf made news when the skipper playfully toyed with his teammate’s hair after he took Mushfiqur Rahim’s wicket.

India sports journalist Sushant Mehta shared the video of the bizarre yet funny moment.
