T20 World Cup: Brands cash in on India-Pakistan hype with offers, banter

The Indian cricket team is set to face arch-rivals Pakistan on Sunday and we all know, nothing unites us more than cricket. Fans from both countries have already started launching friendly attacks on each other but what’s winning the banter is India’s food delivery brands with their sassy sense of humour.
Known for optimally utilising the trends, food delivery brand Zomato is in no mood to spare the Pakistani cricket team today. Their alerts on Sunday are funnier than social media memes. Don’t believe us? See for yourself.

If you still couldn’t get it, the “pizze and burger” here refers to a famous monologue by one of Pakistan’s popular content creators Momin Saqib, popularly known as “Maro Mujhe Maro guy’.
Saqib’s video went viral when India defeated Pakistan in the 2019 ICC World Cup match, in which he criticised the Pakistan cricket team’s fitness and diet habits.
