ODI WC: Virender Sehwag reacts after Babar Azam-led Pakistan inch closer to elimination with NZ's win vs SL
ODI WC: Virender Sehwag hilariously trolled Pakistan after NZ push them closer to exit
Former Indian opener Virender Sehwag sarcasticallytrolled Pakistan after New Zealand's big win over Sri Lanka have pushed the Men in Green closer toODI World Cupelimination on Thursday (Nov 9). With New Zealand beating the Lankans by five wickets, chasing172in 23.2 overs in match 41 in Bengaluru, the 1992 winners now need a miraculous win over England in their last league game --on Saturday (Nov 11) in Kolkata --to enter the semi-finals. Otherwise, the stage is set forNZto take on India in the first semi-final, next week in Mumbai.
It is to be noted that Pakistan need to beat England by 287, or more, runs or chase down any score in less than 10 oversto go past NZ in Net Run Rate (NRR) andtake the fourth semi-final spot. Hence, Babar Azam & Co.'s exit looks surelyon the cards. Thus, former Indian opener-turned-commentator Virender Sehwagtrolled the Asian giants.
Sehwag posted on Instagram saying, "Pakistan Zindabhaag ! Bas yahin tak tha jo tha. Hope you enjoyed the biryani and the hospitality. Have a safe flight back home. Bye Bye Pakistan !"

Pakistan have not had a great run in the ODI WC in India. They started off with two back-to-back wins but lost the plot with big defeats to India, Australia and Afghanistan and also lostto South Africa by a wicket. While they did beatBangladesh and New Zealand, their poor NRR has almost ensured an early exit.
Babar-led Pakistan will play England, the defending champions,at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata on Saturday. They will look to win and leave the tournament on a high as the task of qualification looks highly improbable.
