Tuesday night, fast bowler Haris Rauf took a career-best 4-22 to help Pakistan defeat New Zealand by five wickets in PakVsNz. Veteran Shoaib Malik (27) and Asif Ali (26) came together with Pakistan wobbling at 87-5 and led the team to their target in 18.4 overs.

As soon as Pakistan defeated Kiwis by five wickets, bagging the second consecutive victory, an expected Twitter storm was witnessed, with Pakistanis bringing their top-notch meme game with references to New Zealand’s infamous “security” issue pullout, so much so that it has become one of the top trends.

Let’s have a look at a few.
