People are celebrating the win, but what caught everyone’s attention was the bond between Shah and Waseem Jr, also known as WasNas on Twitter. When Shah knocked out Chapman, he went running towards Wasim to hug him and Twitter loved the bromance.
It was super dramatic, but hey, that’s what the people want!
In another over, Shah got Henry Shipley out courtesy a catch from Wasim.
Shah’s expression at his teammate catching the ball caught people’s attention. Fans found it both endearing and hilarious.
A fan also tweeted their excitement to see Shah and Wasim’s joint effort in the next World Cup.
Another user noticed their hug when the team won, calling them the “perfect besties”.
