The Dhaka Times Desk The big T20 World Cup fiasco has begun. Pakistan were all out for 71 runs. Pakistan lost by 8 wickets when they played against South Africa on Wednesday.
Pakistan won the toss and elected to bat at Khan Saheb Osman Ali Stadium in Fatulla, Narayanganj. But Pakistan, the second champion of T20 World Cup, failed miserably. They were all out for just 71 runs.
The stadium audience was also shocked by such failure of Pakistani batsmen. Umar Akmal scored 17, Soaib Maqsood 15 and Ahmed Shehzad scored 12 runs. Afridi, who stormed with the bat against Bangladesh in the Asia Cup, was also caught. He scored only 6 runs.
On the other hand, South Africa won with a smile. The team's 3 left-arm pacers Wayne Parnell, Beuran Hendricks and Lonwabo Tsotsobe took two wickets each for South Africa. The innings of South Africa vs Pakistan ended in just 14 overs.
Many people in the gallery are disappointed by the state of affairs in Pakistan. Because there are many Pakistani supporters in Bangladesh. Moreover, if Bangladeshi does not play, then Pakistan gets more praise from the Bangladeshi audience. But the audience is disappointed to see this situation of T20 World Cup.
