Young Pakistani boy gets free cricket match tickets from English supporters
A young Pakistani boy wanted to attend the cricket match at Pindi Cricket Stadium, however he didn't have the tickets. So, when some English fans noticed it, they handed the boy two tickets.
England cricket team is playing a Test series in Pakistan. England scored a record 506/4 on day one of the first Test, which kicked off the historic three-match Test series at Rawalpindi's Pindi Cricket Stadium.
A young kid interacting with the visiting fans is shown in a video uploaded on Twitter on Friday by England's Barmy Army. The Barmy army is a group of cricket supporters from England. The video shows that the young boy didn't have a ticket for the match, but a Barmy Army supporter handed him one for two matches. The young boy also shakes hands with English fans.
Then, in the next shot of the video, you can see the boy attending the match the next and meeting the people who gave him a ticket.
The post's caption read, "Meet Daim. He joined us yesterday but didn't have a ticket for today, but one of our kind members helped him get a ticket for today and tomorrow. Two nations, one sport."
