For us, cricket is not just a game, it’s a whole mood! After the first few matches, the cricket team had upset a lot of fans with constant losses. But the tables turned yesterday when Pakistan won against England, now that is an Eid gift we did not see coming.
Pakistan have broken their losing streak in ODI cricket and defeated England in the manner only they could 👏🇵🇰#ENGvPAK #CWC19 pic.twitter.com/VVuQyuMJ84

Needless to say, the spirit of the nation has been revived and if you ask us, the air seems to be different ever since we won the match!
After the great win, PM Imran Khan congratulated the team:
Congratulations to the Pakistan cricket team for a great win and for coming back into form after a poor start in the warm up matches and the first WC match. You have the talent, all you need is the self belief that you can go all the way.

Do not underestimate us!
Just want to let you know that Pak beat the team who’re Number 1 in ranking and beat them in their home conditions.
Don’t underestimate our Shaheens.

Big win today 🏆!!! Congralutions @TheRealPCB. Positive energy shown in the batting by Hafeez, Babar & Sarfraz set the tone of the game for us. We need same energy and attitude in bowling and fielding in the next games. #CWC19 #EngvPak

Go team green!
Loss streak broken, and with it the idea that Pakistan’s not a threat. These boys are very much a threat. Never rule them out. What a game! #EngvPak

And we will always cheer for our team
Nasser Hussain "What a turnaround it has been for Pakistan. Their supporters haven't lost faith, through thick and thin – 12 games including the warm-up they havent won, but their fans have stuck with their team and cheered them on and wished them well" #ENGvPAK #CWC19
— Saj Sadiq (@Saj_PakPassion) June 3, 2019
WE STAN THIS!
Has anybody tried to do a PhD explaining Pakistan’s fortunes in World Tournaments?
This is the kind of tragic descent into madness that would make an amazing Netflix show imo.#CWC19 #ENGvPAK
— Andrew Fidel Fernando (@afidelf) June 3, 2019
A hundred percent right!
Someone has rightly said:
"Form is temporary but class is permanent."
You just can't underestimate them.
They won our hearts today.❤❤#ENGvPAK pic.twitter.com/ljWJCEWDCC— Haleem Qazi (@HaleemQazi) June 3, 2019
Sarfaraz dhoka nahi deta!
Sarfaraz Ahmed has become the 4th Pakistani wicket-keeper to reach the milestone of 100 catches in ODIs. The other 3 are Moin Khan (214), Rashid Latif (182), Kamran Akmal (156)#CWC19 #ENGvPAK

Asim Azhar tried taking a dig at seasonal cricket fans and boy were they offended!

What a performance. Few weaknesses to be addressed and we are on track. Very well done boys.#ENGvPAK #CWC19— Shoaib Akhtar (@shoaib100mph) June 3, 2019
What a comeback!
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
— Mohammad Kaif (@MohammadKaif) June 3, 2019
Hoping this win doesn’t distract them from the game plan!
Huge win. Pakistan are back in this World Cup. Beating the favourites should give them a big confidence boost and make other teams take notice of this result #ENGvPAK #CWC19
— Saj Sadiq (@Saj_PakPassion) June 3, 2019
Yaaaas!
What a great performance #pakistan! It wasnt easy, what bowling performance, brilliant batting , everything was just up to the mark! Play like this and we dont care about the results . Made the entire Pakistan proud today, best eidi ✌#ICCWorldCup2019
— Farhan Saeed (@farhan_saeed) June 3, 2019
Literally.
Nothing better than to see Pakistan perform well as a team as opposed to winning on the back of a couple of mercurial performances. Heart warming stuff. #PAKvsENG 🇵🇰
— adnanmalik (@adnanmalik) June 3, 2019
Because that’s just how we roll!
Yes, it took very long break the losing streak. When we broke it, we made sure we did it against the WORLD NO.1 team England at their home in World Cup.

Take a bow @TheRealPCB resilience … Thats the key !!! Wonderful comback to turn the fortunes #EngVPAK #CWC2019 Well done… But imagine what you can do if you field well too !!!
— Russel Arnold (@RusselArnold69) June 3, 2019
Have you seen a more epic duo than Amir and Wahab? Because we haven’t
Amir and Wahab 🔥
Remember these two senior bowlers were not in the initial WC squad and they have came back with a bang and helped in defeating the No. 1 ODI team ♥️
