Pakistan bowling attack came out with all blazing guns as they dismantled Australia's batting by taking four wickets in just 16 runs. Mir Hamza scalped two wickets of Travis Head (0) and David Warner (6) on the trot in the sixth over of the third innings.
Mir Hamza's back to back wickets left the commentary box amazed. However, Mel McLaughlin's reaction caught the attention of many and the video of the same went viral on social media. McLaughlin was unaware that her reaction was being filmed.
