T20 World Cup 2024 has been very bad for the Pakistan cricket team. This time the Pakistani team could not qualify for the Super-8 round in the World Cup and had to be eliminated from the group stage itself. Apart from India, the US team qualified from its group.
Pakistan played its last match in the T20 World Cup 2024 against Ireland on Sunday. Where their team won by 3 wickets. However, even after winning this match, the Pakistani team could not get any benefit as their team was already out. Even after this match, there was no happiness on the faces of the Pakistani players. After the match, Shaheen Afridi gave his opinion on the performance of the team.
What did Shaheen Afridi say?
Shaheen Shah Afridi said that we did not play good cricket which our country demands. With the Champions Trophy coming up, there are some areas where we need to improve rapidly. We have to improve as a team and move forward. American fans also supported the Pakistan team a lot. On this Afridi said that fans always come and support us, thank you all for the support. They support us even in difficult times, which we need as a team. Now it is clear that many changes can be seen in the Pakistan team.
Poor performance in T20 World Cup 2024
This is the first time in the T20 World Cup that Pakistan cricket team failed to advance beyond the group stage. This was one of the worst T20 World Cups for Pakistan cricket. Pakistan suffered its first major upset in the group stage at the hands of the USA in the Super Over. After this, the Indian team defeated them by 6 runs. After this, Pakistan hoped to reach the Super 8 on the basis of their luck, but the match between USA and Ireland was canceled due to rain and the journey of the Pakistan team in the World Cup ended there. They played only one official match against Ireland. This match had no effect on the position of any team.
