Wiaan Mulder’s post-match presentation in Pakistan turned humorous when he addressed an official holding his award cheque upside down. Pakistan recently defeated South Africa in the ODI tri-series, making significant progress towards the Champions Trophy. Mulder’s lighthearted interaction garnered attention on social media, illustrating the enjoyable moments in competitive sports.
In a lighthearted moment at a recent post-match presentation in Pakistan, South African cricketer Wiaan Mulder humorously addressed an official holding his award cheque upside down. The incident occurred after Pakistan’s victory over South Africa in the third ODI of a tri-series that also includes New Zealand. Mulder received the ‘Catch of the Match’ award for his impressive catch that dismissed Pakistani batter Saud Shakeel.
As Mulder took the stage, he found himself in a comical situation when the cheque for 1 lakh PKR (approximately $31,000) was presented. After a handshake and initial posing for photographs, he pointed out that it was upside down. Despite Mulder’s attempts to align it correctly, the official continued to reposition the cheque awkwardly, eliciting laughter from the audience and online viewers who shared the moment on social media.
The performance of the Pakistani team has been notable in this series, especially with players like Mohammad Rizwan and Salman Ali Agha making significant contributions that helped Pakistan chase down a formidable target of 353 runs. This win marked a historic achievement, as it was the first time in nearly five years that a team chased a target over 350 runs in ODIs. The final match of the tri-series is scheduled to take place in Karachi on February 14, where Pakistan will face New Zealand, who remain unbeaten in the tournament.
The amusing post-match presentation featuring Wiaan Mulder highlights the lighter side of cricket amidst serious competition. As Pakistan prepares for the Champions Trophy, their recent success against South Africa positions them favorably heading into the final against New Zealand. The viral moment has not only entertained fans but also showcased the camaraderie in sports, reinforcing the joyous spirit of cricket.
