On Sunday, Pakistan failed to win their first match against India in the history of the World Cup, yet again. Now the tally is 7-0 in the favour of the Indians. This loss of the Pakistani team did not go well with the fans. The fans have been constantly complaining about the intent of the team along with the negative results. Some fans even released photos of senior players like Shoaib Malik, Wahab Riaz and Imad Wasim enjoying the night before the game. Shoaib Malik’s wife and Indian tennis star Sania Mirza was also part of the group.
Actress Veena Malik could not reason Sania’s presence and hence took it to twitter to express her concerns. This is how the war started between Sania and Veena Malik. It started with Veena tweeting about how worried she was when she heard that Sania Mirza had taken her infant son Izhaan along with her as well.
Sania, I am actually so worried for the kid. You guys took him to a sheesha place isn't it Hazardious? Also as far as I know Archie's is all about junk food which isn't good for athletes/Boys. You must know well as you are mother and athlete yourself? https://t.co/RRhaDfggus

However, Sania was not going to hold back on her side. She came up with a series of two tweets in reply to Veena. Sania made it very clear that she is well aware of how she should be looking after her son, and also, she is not the person responsible for Pakistani cricketers.
Veena,I hav not taken my kid to a sheesha place. Not that it’s any of your or the rest of the world’s business cause I think I care bout my son a lot more than anyone else does 🙂 secondly I am not Pakistan cricket team’s dietician nor am I their mother or principal or teacher https://t.co/R4lXSm794B

Veena Malik responded to the Sania saying that she had never termed Sania as the dietician or the mother of Pakistan team.
She also added another tweet mentioning how Sania had first tweeted, then deleted the tweet and then went on to block Veena Malik on Twitter.
Great to hear that u didn't took ur kid their. Oh did I mentioned you are a dietician or mother of the Pak team? I said u are an athlete and u must know how much fitness is important for athletes.Also aren't u a wife of cricketer? U should take care of his wellbeing.Isn't it? https://t.co/zZKS3r0xSk

Okay so this Happened. First, she tweeted then deleted that tweet right away and blocked me. I mentioned my concerns in a very civilised, calm & composed manner. It could have been a healthy debate. pic.twitter.com/aw6C36xI3o

Later, Shoaib Malik who came to Sania’s defence, and tweeted his bit.
On behalf of all athletes I would like to request media and people to maintain respect levels in regards to our families, who should not be dragged into petty discussions at will. It’s not a nice thing to do

The Pakistan Cricket Board had also come to defend their players saying that none of them had violated the rules. The photos that were circulated were not taken on the eve of India vs Pakistan match.
But the fans have clearly not been happy with the way their players have performed. They have been constantly expressing their displeasure on social media over the way the team just gave up against Virat Kohli’s men.
