Sachin Tendulkar had a cheeky take on Sunday's India vs Pakistan T20 World Cup match in New York which India won by six runs. The cricketing legend took to X and congratulated Team India for their "wonderful" performance, but did not hold back from teasing the arch rival over their loss.

"India vs Pakistan. New continent, same result," he wrote, adding, "T20 may be a batters’ game, but in New York, bowlers were the Apple of our eyes today. What a thrilling match! Great atmosphere and a wonderful exhibition of our great game in America. Well played, India."

Meanwhile, former Pakistan skipper Salim Malik has accused Imad Wasim of deliberately wasting balls contributing to the team's defeat.

Chasing an underwhelming 120-run target, Pakistani batters consumed 59 dot balls to be restricted to 113 for 7 in New York on Sunday. Wasim took 23 balls to score his 15 runs in the losing cause.

"You look at his (Wasim) innings and it appears as if he was wasting balls not scoring runs and making things difficult in the run-chase," Malik said on 24 News channel.
