'Pakistan lose to India H1B': Babar & Co trolled after T20 WC vs USA

USA stunned Pakistan in a Super Over thriller in match 11 of the 2024 T20 World Cup, at Dallas, on Thursday (June 6). Opting to bowl first, Monank Patel-led USA rode on left-arm spinner Nosthush Kenjige andSaurabh Netravalkar's early strikes to dent Babar Azam-led Pakistan. While Shadab Khan's 40, captain Babar's 43-ball 44 and finishing cameos from Iftikhar Ahmed and Shaheen Afridi took Pakistan to 159/7, USA tied the game -- despite economical spells from Mohammad Amir and Naseem Shah -- courtesy of captain Monank's 50 and vice-captain Aaron Jones' vital 26-ball 36*.

In the Super Over,Amir conceded 18 runs before Pakistan batters only managed 13/1 to lose their tournament opener. USA pacer Netravalkar kept his calm to bowl a fantastic final six balls and take his side home. With this win, the co-hosts are now at the top in Group A with two successive wins, having already beaten Canada in the first game of the 20-nation competition.

Following the shocking result, netizens hilariously trolled Pakistan cricket for their sloppy performance versus an associate nation. Even in the previous T20 WC, Pakistan had lost to Zimbabwe in the group stage. Here are some of the reactions:

Here are how some of the former cricketers reacted to USA's famous win:

'You have got one team like USA reaching Mt. Everest while Pakistan have really hit rock bottom'

After the match, former Indian cricketer-turned-commentator Sanjay Manjrekar said on Star Sports, "So early to reach such a peak as far as international cricket is concerned, winning this game. You have got one team like USA reaching Mt. Everest while Pakistan have really hit rock bottom. I have not seen a worse performance from Pakistan. This is not just about the defeat. The review, the Super Over from Mohammad Amir, the misfields when the pressure was on. It hurts me to see this because when I played against Pakistan they were world champions, they have hit rock bottom now," Sanjay Manjrekar said.

Babar-led Pakistan will like to move past this game soon as they take on arch-rivals India, in New York, on Sunday (June 9) in their next outing at the ongoingT20 WC.
