So the past few days has seen the emergence of a new national hero: Zainab Abbas.
After she became the national heartthrob during the last edition of Pakistan Super League Zainab has transitioned into the go-to cricket expert.
During this Champions Trophy, Zainab has been caught taking selfies with players, but her curse is that during that all important match they play next, they either get out for a duck, or their team loses.
First she got AB De Villiers
Told him to go easy on us tomorrow 🙏🏻 AB the man! #ABdeVilliers #PAKvSA

Zainab, you have a name. Go and strike.
Some people took her skills way too seriously.
If @ZAbbasOfficial could take a selfie with my depression, that'll be much appreciated.
