On Thursday, Zimbabwe defeated Pakistan in a thriller clash by 1 run, and this is the best victory of Zimbabwe in the history of any ICC event and definitely a nightmare for Green Army. This is the second consecutive loss of Babar Azam & Co. in this T20 World Cup, and now the way for them to the semi-final is not easy. After the game, everyone started trolling Pakistani players on social media platforms. As you can see, many memes are trending. Every former Pakistani player once again became furious on his national cricket team’s performance.
After the loss, Legendary pacer Wasim Akram slammed the Pakistani skipper and selectors for not selecting veteran batter Shoaib Malik. He was expected to return to the team for T20 World Cup 2022 because a weak middle order is a big cause of concern for the Pakistani team. But, on Thursday, we saw the same issues reflected, and they lost the critical match against minnows Zimbabwe.
“Ek saal se Pakistan, including us (Malik, Waqar Younis and Misbah ul Haq) knew that middle order slightly weak hai. Aur yeh ladka baitha hai (Shoaib Malik). Main agar captain hota, mera end goal kya hota…to win the World Cup. Agar usske liye mujhe gadhe ko bhi baap banana pare main banaunga beacuse mujhe World Cup jeetna hain. Agar mujhe Shoaib Malik chahiye toh main chairman and selector ko jaake kahunga ki I will not play World Cup if I don’t get my player. But aisa koi hain nahin. Babar ko aur akalmand hona parega. Yeh woh moholle ki team nehin hai ki mera jaanne wala aa jayega. Agar main hota toh iss ladke ko (Malik) sabse pehle middle order main leta”.
