During the ongoing Bangladesh vs. Pakistan match at Colombo of the 2025 Women's World Cup, Pakistani commentator Sana Mir mentioned "Azad Kashmir" while speaking about the roots of Pakistan's Natalia Pervaiz. Pakistan won the toss and sent Bangladesh to field first. However, Pakistan's innings didn't last till 50 overs. They were all out for 129, within 39 overs. Pakistan's captain Fatima Sana Sheikh and Natalia Pervaiz were batting when the Pak commentator mentioned Natalia's prodigy. Sana Mir, who was also a former captain for the Pakistan team, was heard saying, "A lot of these players are new. Natalia who comes from Kashmir... Azad Kashmir, plays a lot of cricket in Lahore.. she has to come to Lahore to play all that cricket there." Player ‘from Azad Kashmir’ is this kind of commentary allowed? And then they say keep politics away from sports. pic.twitter.com/1HSHjRWMZG — Lala (@FabulasGuy) October 2, 2025 Read also: England Women Eye World Cup Glory Under New Leadership of Sciver-Brunt The remark didn't go well with the fans. Recently, the contest between India and Pakistan has extended beyond cricket and taken a political turn after the Pahalgam attack. The Indian Men's had refused to shake hands with Pakistan's during the 2025 Asia Cup, and the Indian Women are likely to carry on the heritage in the ODI World Cup. Following that, a lot of controversies arose with Pakistan fans questioning India's sportsmanship, saying that India is deliberately trying to drag politics onto the field. In such a situation, fans question the apolitical stance of Sana Mir's remark on Natalia. Speaking about the game, Pakistan has been horrible with the bat. Their highest score has been 23 scored by Rameen Shamim and the second highest score is 22 scored by Fatima Sana. Bangladesh' Shorna Akter starred on the bowling side with three wickets. Marufa Akter and Nahida Akter took two each. Nishita Akter Nishi, Fahima Khatun, and Rabeya Khan took a piece. Currently, after 19 overs of chase, Bangladesh lost just two wickets and has 75 runs on the board.
