The Pakistan cricket team is facing a wave of criticism and uncertainty following their shocking defeat against tournament debutants USA in the T20 World Cup 2024. The loss, which came in a thrilling Super Over finish, has cast a dark cloud over the team’s campaign and raised questions about their preparations.
The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has responded swiftly by postponing a planned “gala dinner” with fans, further highlighting the tension surrounding the team’s performance. This decision comes after widespread criticism from fans and pundits alike, with many expressing disappointment at the team’s lack of effort against a less experienced opponent.
Legendary figures like Younis Khan and Wasim Akram also weighed in, voicing their concerns. Khan lamented the team’s underwhelming performance, especially considering the large Pakistani community in the USA who wholeheartedly support the team. Akram, meanwhile, expressed disbelief at the team’s apparent lack of focus and criticized some players for their lack of effort on the field.
