Ahead of the upcoming ICC Women’s ODI World Cup, Pakistan Women’s team locked horns with South Africa Women in a three-match ODI series in Karachi and lost the series 1-2. However, the hosts registered a consoling victory in the final match by 6 wickets, thanks to the match-winning bowling performance from Nashra Sandhu, who grabbed her career-best six-wicket haul. She also became the fastest Pakistani woman to clinch 100 ODI wickets. For her performance with the ball, she was awarded Player of the Match and rightly so. But after the match, she posted a photo on her Instagram account with the award that eventually raised eyebrows. In the picture, she can be seen holding her six fingers with her award, prompting that this gesture was made to take a dig at India.
