Twitter trolls back PAK minister for their attempts to troll Team India after their semi-final loss to New Zealand.
New Zealand produced a brilliant bowling performance to upset India with an 18-run victory in their rain-affected ICC Cricket World Cup 2019 semifinal on Wednesday.
New Zealand defended a modest total of 239 for eight as India were all out for 221 in 49.3 overs.
The Black Caps bowling attack turned the game around, taking three wickets in the opening 19 balls with tournament top scorer Rohit Sharma, skipper Virat Kohli and KL Rahul all dismissed for one. From a dire position of 24-4, however, India got themselves back in the game thanks to a superb 116-run seventh-wicket partnership between MS Dhoni (50) and Ravindra Jadeja (77).
Indian fans across the globe were really sad after their favorite side crashed out of the semis and failed to secure a spot in the final.
After the match, Pakistan ministers took to Twitter in attempts to try and troll the 'Men In Blue':
1. Fawad Chaudhry
The federal minister for science and technology of the Pakistan Government, Fawad Chaudhry Twitted: "Pakistanion ki #NayiMohabbat <3 NewZeeland"

But cricket fans didn't fail to notice Fawad Chaudhry's spelling mistakes though.
