Less than 48 hours after their arrival in Hyderabad, Pakistan are up and running and taking on New Zealand in the first of their twin warm-up games. The match is being played at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium on Friday (September 29) with Pakistan winning the toss and electing to bat first. While the Men in Green have scored 80-2 in 18 Overs before the rain interruped play, what has grabbed the attention of the netizens so far is an emoji on the shoes of the Pakistan captain.
