The prime minister also congratulated the rest of the team especially Rizwan and Shafique for the way they fought back.
However in reference to the political “match-fixing”, the prime minister mentioned that he could not watch the cricket match for being busy in fighting a match at “another front”
“Unfortunately, I could not watch this match as I am fighting on another front against match-fixing where huge amounts of money are being used to lure my players,” he said.
بدقسمتی سےمیں یہ میچ نہیں دیکھ سکاکیونکہ ایک دوسرے محاذ پر میچ فکسنگ کیخلاف برسرِ پیکار ہوں جہاں میرے کھلاڑیوں کو بہلانے پھسلانے کیلئے بے دریغ پیسہ بہایا جارہا ہے۔
