India defeated Pakistan by 107 runs in a World Cup match, but it was Pakistan captain Bismah Maroof’s seven-month-old daughter Fatima who stole the show instead of the National Woman cricket team.
Indian women cricket team players were spotted playing with Fatima, who was in the custody of one of the Pakistan support staff members, at the end of the match, while Maroof was busy with the post-match press conference.

“It’s a very emotional time for me,” Bismah Mahroof said of the photo of her attending the match with her daughter, which has gone viral.
“It was a unique sensation. Returning to the World Cup to compete. My mother and daughter are here, therefore this is a great occasion for me, and I want to make it memorable”, she stated
Bismah Maroof is returning to the game after a two-year sabbatical right in time for the World Cup, where she is still the team’s finest middle-order batter.
