On Thursday, Zimbabwe shocked Pakistan by defeating them by a score of one run, perhaps eliminating the Asian powerhouses from the Twenty20 World Cup. After choosing to bat first, Zimbabwe was limited to 130-8, but their bowlers squeezed Pakistan to 129-8 for a stunning victory in the Super 12 encounter in Perth.
After a heartbreaking initial loss to their bitter rivals India, who finished the group with two wins, it was Pakistan’s second straight defeat. As soon as Pakistan failed to win the dramatic game, Twitter went into frenzy as fans and celebrities voiced shock and disappointment at the defeat.
“Disappointed. no words There are no words.”Shared on the app by Asim Azhar.
He acknowledged his disappointment while also promising to always support our men in green. Wish I was a seasonal fan like many others, Asim Azhar said. “It would be extremely simple to hate/abuse and take out my fury right now.”
Wish i was a seasonal fan like many others, would be really easy to hate/abuse and take out my frustration rn. As much as I’m angry – this is still my team, thru the ups & thru the downs. The game was heartbreaking but these boys will always be my boys. Baaki sab ki apni marzi. https://t.co/iTS13Ua4EE

“Even though I’m upset, this is still my squad, through the good times and the bad. These boys will always be my boys, despite the terrible nature of the game. The rest of you may behave anyway you like.” Added he, “Criticism is acceptable, but abuse is not. Having saying that, we performed terribly today. Major changes must be made!”
We were rubbish today. Deserved to lose. But anyone who wears the star on their chest has my support & will always do. Not just only when their playing world class. But ALWAYS. That’s the kind of fan I am. With that being said, i request everyone to criticise but DO NOT abuse. 🙏🏽
