It was an absolute disaster for Pakistan when they skipped out on a major win from their hands to Team India. At the Nassau County Stadium in the Big Apple, the latest chapter in the greatest cricket rivalry offered some off-the-hook action that had the fans glued to their seats. In what was a low-scoring affair, the T20 World Cup group-stage match-up, Pakistan looked like a dominant side while bowling first. But Team India pulled off a comeback of epic proportions against the Men in Green, and the Pakistani fans absolutely lost it when the Babar Azam-led side let go of a win which was served like a platter to them

Pakistan fans LOST IT after the Babar Azam-led side's losing streak continues after losing to India

Despite a valiant effort by Rishabh after being put into bat in gloomy skies, the Rohit Sharma-led team experienced a mid-innings breakdown on a two-paced track and were all out for a lackluster 119 in 19 overs. Pakistan, a team that can play both magnificent and ludicrous cricket, appeared to be winning the match as they needed to score 48 runs in as many balls and had eight wickets remaining. But just like the legendary Undertaker, Team India rebounded from the dead with sharp spells from the always-effective Bumrah (3/14) and Hardik Pandya (2/24) that saw Pakistan lose wickets at a rate of knots to finish at 113 for seven in 20 overs.

After Pakistan lost the match by six runs, the fans in the neighboring country went absolutely nuts as they lambasted the Babar Azam-led side and vented their frustrations over the social media platform X (Formerly Twitter).
