T20 WC: Memes continue to flood Twitter after Pakistan's humiliating loss to Zimbabwe

Pakistan and Zimbabwe locked horns against each other in the 24th match of the ongoing ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2022 on Thursday. Zimbabwe won the nail-biting thriller by 1 run, handing Pakistan yet another upset in their World Cup campaign. The Babar Azam-led side has now moved down to the fifth position in Group 2 points table with zero wins in two matches. 

Pakistan had to get 3 runs off just 1 ball to win the game. After Mohammad Nawaz's dismissal on the penultimate ball of the final over, Shaheen Shah Afridi came down to face the last ball and drove towards long-on in an effort to get two runs to take the game to super over. Zimbabwe's wicketkeeper Regis Chakabva, who initially fumbled when the fielder threw the ball at him, recovered in time to remove the bails at the striker's end, preventing Pakistan from drawing the game.
