After a 'safe win' against New Zealand, the Pakistani team honors the country's security forces.

Pakistan extended their winning streak to two in the 2021 T20 World Cup, beating New Zealand in a high-octane battle at Sharjah Cricket Stadium. The Pakistan cricket team and supporters were particularly looking forward to the match versus New Zealand since the Kiwis unexpectedly cancelled their trip owing to purported security concerns.

New Zealand Cricket (NZC) had not divulged the facts of the security concern, which had enraged Pakistan's cricketing community. While New Zealand's captain, Kane Williamson, had hoped that the Pakistan cricket team would not harbour any resentment over the tour's cancellation, the match was nevertheless anticipated to be a fierce clash between two elite teams.

The game was played in the proper spirit, with both sides putting in their best effort to win.

The Men in Green triumphed in Sharjah in a low-scoring thriller. The victory was a collaborative effort, with each player contributing to the team's triumph.

After the game, several Pakistani players resorted to social media to poke fun at New Zealand for the purported security concerns and quick cancellation of the visit. Here are a few examples of tweets:

Pakistan's next three matches will be against Afghanistan, Namibia, and Scotland to reach the semi-finals for the first time since the 2012 T20 World Cup. New Zealand, on the other hand, will play India in their next match, and a defeat for either team would see them eliminated from the T20 World Cup.
