Pakistan had won the title of ‘Hong Kong Super Sixes’ on 9 November. This team, captained by Abbas Afridi, defeated Kuwait by 43 runs in the final. After this, a post of Pakistan Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif started going viral, in which he announced a one-week national holiday to celebrate this. But what is the truth of this post? Know.
Fans were also surprised to see the post of Pakistan Prime Minister going viral. After all, how can Pakistan celebrate so much after winning a tournament like Hong Kong Super Sixes, how can it declare a week-long national holiday? Still, this is Pakistan and many such strange things or announcements keep happening there. But the truth of this post is completely different.
In Shehbaz Sharif’s post which is going viral, he has written, “Congratulations to the Pakistan cricket team on winning the Hong Kong Super Sixes. Although we cannot defeat the Indian Commentators XI, but this victory is no less than the World Cup victory. I want to declare a week-long national holiday on this happy occasion.”
Congratulations Pakistan cricket team on winning the Hong Kong Super Sixes 🏆
Although we can’t beat Indian commentators XI, this victory is nothing short of a World Cup win!I would like to declare 1 week national holiday on this joyful occasion.

What is the truth of the post?
In the era of social media, fake news also spreads rapidly, in the era of AI it is difficult for people to identify which video is true and which is false. Nowadays one can also get blue tick along with subscription, in such a situation it is difficult to identify real and fake account.
The account of Shahbaz Sharif from which this post has been made is a fake account. She has only 300 followers whereas the real account has 6.8 million followers. So the post and claim of one week holiday in Pakistan after winning Hong Kong Super Sixes is wrong.
Pakistan had lost to India
Pakistan had lost only to Team India in the Hong Kong Super Sixes Tournament. The team captained by Dinesh Karthik had defeated Pakistan by 2 runs under the Duckworth-Lewis rule in the match played on 7 November.
