In the end, Pakistan’s first triumph in the T20 World Cup series was disappointing. The Green Shirts made a good start with a fierce bowling assault and keen fielding, but despite the victory, their batting left netizens unsatisfied.
Scott Edwards, the captain of the Netherlands, won the toss on Sunday and decided to bat first despite not knowing what the Pakistani squad would do to him. The atmosphere was heightened for Pakistani fans who anticipated a quick victory as they reduced their overall aim to 92 runs in total. Backlash resulted from the game continuing for around four extra overs when they expected it to end in 10 overs.
They praised Muhammad Wasim’s deadly yorkers, Haris Rauf’s deadly ball, and Shadab Khan’s wickets, but they couldn’t stop talking about the “selfish innings.”
After Rauf’s devastating bouncer caused a face damage, internet users are praying for Dutch batter Bas De Leede.
It all comes down to fans turning their attention to today’s India vs. South Africa game. To ensure Pakistan’s meagre chances of continuing its World Cup series, they are pulling for the former.
