Mohammad Hafeez thanks ‘rescue angel’ Sania Mirza for arranging birthday cake for his wife

Pakistan all-rounder Mohammad Hafeez forgot his wife Nazia Hafeez’s birthday on Wednesday, October 27. However, it was Indian tennis star Sania Mirza, who came to the cricketer’s rescue and arranged a cake for Nazia. After the heartfelt gesture, Hafeez called Sania a ‘rescue angel’. He posted a couple of pictures with his family and Sania, also the wife of all-rounder Shoaib Malik.

The Sargodha-born Hafeez recently played in Pakistan’s Super 12 matches against India and New Zealand on Sunday, October 24 and Tuesday, October 26 respectively. Hafeez’s post soon caught the attention of the netizens, who dropped plenty of reactions and comments.

Hafeez captioned the pictures and wrote, “Happy birthday to my wife @naziahafeez8 i forgot but thanks to rescue angel @MirzaSania to arrange birthday cake on time.”

Mohammad Hafeez’s post

Hafeez’s wife Nazia has been supportive of his husband’s team in the ongoing edition of the T20 World Cup. After Pakistan beat the Men in Blue by 10 wickets in Dubai, she posted a video where she was seen enjoying with other fans at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium. She captioned the video and wrote, “Happy moments & celebrations after win over India last night,”

Prior to that, she also posted a video where Hafeez was seen celebrating his birthday with the Pakistan cricketers, including skipper Babar Azam. Moreover, she has retweeted quite a few tweets from other cricketers, showing that she’s pretty active on social media.

Pakistan marching along

As far as Pakistan are concerned, they have started their World Cup sojourn on a resounding note. After defeating Virat Kohli’s India, they went past the Black Caps at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium. Having already beaten two top teams in their group, the Men in Green are almost assured of a berth in the semis barring a miracle.

Their next match is against Afghanistan, led by Mohammad Nabi, on Friday, October 29 in Dubai. Pakistan’s bowlers have been fantastic thus far. Shaheen Shah Afridi and Haris Rauf have fetched Player of the Match awards thus far.

Mohammad Rizwan has scored runs in T20Is at an average of nearly 100 in 2021. Shoaib Malik returned to playing international cricket after a gap of 14 months and he hasn’t shown signs of rustiness either.
