    "editor1": "<p><strong>June 24 (CRICKETNMORE)<\/strong> Pakistan skipper Sarfaraz Ahmed received a lot of flak after he was captured yawning at one stage during the India innings in their World Cup game at Old Trafford. The 89-run loss made matters worse as he was heavily trolled for yawning and was later also body shamed.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>But after Pakistan&#39;s convincing win over South Africa, the captain finally commented on the much-talked about yawn and said: &quot;Yawning is a normal thing to do, I didn&#39;t commit a sin. If people made money out of me yawning, that&#39;s a good thing.&quot;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Sunday&#39;s game saw Pakistan post 308\/7 in their 50 overs and then restricted South Africa to 259\/9 as the Proteas were knocked out of the showpiece event.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Sarfaraz was all praise for left-handed batsman Haris Sohail for his Jos Buttler-style batting at the Lord&#39;s. Included for Sunday&#39;s game in place of the experienced Shoaib Malik, Haris instantly proved his mettle and hit a 59-ball 89.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;Haris Sohail put in a great performance. We changed the combination in this game. Couple of games earlier, we went with other combination. That&#39;s the only thing. Sometimes change is good for the team. Today the way Haris batted, he is hungry to play in the game. He&#39;s the main factor, the turning point, the way he batted in the last 15 overs, it was like Jos Buttler,&quot; Sarfaraz said at the post-match presentation ceremony.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>But Sarfaraz was critical of his team&#39;s fielding. &quot;We have to work harder on fielding. Again we dropped so many catches today. All three matches now are very crucial and we have to sort it out,&quot; he said.<\/p>\r\n",
