Bismah Maroof with Indian Players (Image Credit : Twitter)
Time and time again, sports have shown us that it has no boundaries. India and Pakistan's match in any sport is a high-voltage due to the history of political scenarios between both nations. Last year, after the Men's 20-20 World Cup game, players were seen interacting with each other in a friendly manner. Pakistan had beaten India by 10 wickets in that game.
However, that wasn't the first time that players from both nations showed sportsperson spirit. The friendship between former players, Shoaib Akhtar, Harbhajan Singh, and Yuvraj Singh is hidden to none. There have been many instances of Akhtar and Singh having banter with each other on various platforms. Another instance was after the Champions Trophy 2017 Final, where players were having a laugh after the game. Pakistan had beaten India by 180 runs in that game.
Meanwhile, on March 6, there was another instance of sportsperson spirit. After the Women's World Cup fixture between the two teams, Pakistan skipper Bismah Maroof was spending some time with her daughter. Indian players joined her and had a candid time with the kid. The videos and images of this incident are going viral on social media. Talking about the game, India maintained their 100 per cent win record against their arch-rivals.
In the game, the Mithali-Raj led side thrashed the Bismah Maroof-led side by 107 runs. Batting first, India scored 244/7, thanks to half-centuries from Smriti Mandhana, Pooja Vastrakar, and Sneh Rana. In reply, Pakistan could only muster 137 all-out with only Sidra Ameen (30) top-scoring for the team.
This is how Twitter reacted
What a lovely moment! Cricket has boundaries on the field, but it breaks them all off the field.

Bismah Maroof's legacy will go far beyond her achievements on the field. In a society that often tells women to make choices between career and family, she's showing that you can have both! Such an inspiring person.pic.twitter.com/Vp7EB2iwKd
