Legends and Pundits react to Pakistan's win against England in the World Cup
Pakistan were criticized by the legends of the sport like Shoaib Akhtar for losing their first match against West Indies. But yesterday Sarfaraz Ahmed and his men proved all of them wrong by winning the match against the No.1 ODI team and favourites of the tournament England.
Well well well...
#Phainta completed.

What a way to end the streak!

Look who else proved critics wrong! Well done Wahab and Amir!
Fantastic win for Pakistan, England losing in a run chase at home after nearly 4 years. Pakistan have showed a lot of character after the humiliating loss against West Indies. Wahab and Amir were really good in the end . #ENGvPAK

An unfortunate record!
England becomes the first side in #CWC history to lose a match after two of their batsmen making centuries in the same innings!#CWC19#CWC2019#EngvPak#PakvEng

That's what happens when you defeat the No.1!

Not just an unexpected result but a thriller too!
Well done Pakistan!! 👏👏👏#ICCWC2019
No one will write them off after today's performance!
Lose 4 nil to the Worlds No1 team coming into the World Cup. Get demolished by a team that had to qualify for the CWC in your 1st game. Lose your last 11 completed ODI’s. Take down the No 1 ranked team next game. Never write off Pakistan👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻.

This is how Virender Sehwag reacted!
Volatility at it's best. Pakistan cricket 's unpredictability at it's best. Completely down one match, and on top the next. Great win today for Pakistan, and an exciting match in this World cup finally. Well done #ENGvPAK

Pakistan - the most unpredictable team in the World Cup!
Just landed and see what a staggering performance Pakistan have put up. I told you, with Pakistan, yesterday has no connection to today, today none to tomorrow.
