They lost the match by six wickets. But, a funny incident took place during the telecasting of the match. The broadcaster made a rare mistake by including the England spinner, Adil Rashid in Pakistan’s squad for the World Cup. The post went viral as fans found it funny after seeing the England spinner on the list.
