Mir, a part of the commentary panel, was calling the Bangladesh vs Pakistan game in Colombo when she made a politically charged comment.<\/p>\n<p id=\"1\" class=\"story_para_1\">It was the 29<sup>th<\/sup> over of Pakistan\u2019s innings when Natalia Pervaiz walked out to bat. Commentating on her background, Mir initially said the batter was from \u201cKashmir&#8221; before correcting herself to \u201cAzad Kashmir,&#8221; a term India refers to as Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir (PoK).<\/p>\n<p id=\"2\" class=\"story_para_2\">The video of the incident has now gone viral on social media, baffling the people of India.<\/p>\n<div class=\"twtiframe\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Hello <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ICC?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow\">@ICC<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/BCCI?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow\">@BCCI<\/a>What is this, \u2018Player from Azad Kashmir\u2019?

Young pacer Marufa Akter (2\/31) delivered a fiery opening burst, removing Omaima Sohail and Sidra Amin for golden ducks. Veteran Nahida Akter (2\/19) and teenager Shorna Akter (3\/5) tightened the screws, sharing five wickets between them. Pakistan never recovered, managing just 14 boundaries in a lacklustre display.<\/p>\n<p id=\"5\" class=\"story_para_5\">Chasing 130, Rubya anchored the innings with a composed 54* off 77 balls, including eight boundaries, and stitched a 62-run third-wicket stand with Sultana (23). Despite early losses of Fargana Hoque and Sharmin Akhter, Rubya shifted gears, hammering three fours in one over from Nashra Sandhu to put the chase firmly under control. Bangladesh reached 131\/3 in 31.1 overs, with 113 balls to spare.<\/p>\n<p id=\"6\" class=\"story_para_6\"><em>(With PTI Inputs)<\/em><\/p>\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atawrap\">\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atadetailwrp\">\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd ataname\"><span class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atthumb\"><\/p>\n<figure class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Aakash Biswas\" title=\"Aakash Biswas\" src=\"https:\/\/images.news18.com\/ibnlive\/uploads\/2023\/11\/aakash-biswas-bio-2023-11-729600f2111212fe5bc6bc8acec4a032.jpeg?impolicy=website&amp;width=60&amp;height=60\" class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd\"\/><\/figure>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd attitle\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/byline\/aakash-biswas-20213.html\" class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atamail\">Aakash Biswas<\/a><\/p>\n<p>A cricket enthusiast whose dreams of playing for India paved the way for a compelling journey in journalism.
