Pakistani actor and avid cricket follower, Fakhre Alam, however, believed that the team's win had something to do with the presence of Sania Mirza, wife of Shoaib Malik, and the darling 'Bhabi' of the nation.

Mirza did not shy away from credit either as she tweeted:

— Sania Mirza (@MirzaSania) August 1, 2015
Her tweet referenced to the fact that in all the matches she made an appearance, Pakistan won.
