New Delhi: Pakistan managed to pull off an extraordinary chase to get back at India and won by 5 wickets in the second match between the two arch-rivals in the 2022 Asia Cup. After not playing against each for almost a year, Pakistan and India faced each other on a cricket pitch for the second time in a week.
However, after the match, a video of residents from Jammu and Kashmir celebrating the victory of Pakistan is shared multiple times, including those from verified handles on Twitter.
