As soon as Hasan Ali shouted the word, party the whole team went into a frenzy and started hooting. The viral meme has seen many recreations, tributes and many other odes.
After David Miller's masterclass knock of 85 runs off just 45 balls, Pakistan needed 165 runs to win to put the series in the bag after South Africa levelled in the second game. Pakistan were off to a great start with Mohammad Rizwan, Haider Ali and Babar Azam, but lost the plot in the middle losing 3 wickets in quick time. However, some late runs from Faheem Ashraf, Mohammed Nawaz and Hasan Ali helped their team get to the target with eight balls left and clinch the series 2-1, after a clean sweep of 2-0 in the Test series.
