ICC T20 World Cup 2022: Pakistan PM Takes Dig at Team India After Semifinal Loss Against England

New Delhi, Nov 10: Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif on Thursday took a cheeky dig at India men's cricket team after they suffered a crushing 10-wicket loss to England in the second semifinal of the Men's T20 World Cup 2022 at the Adelaide Oval. England openers Jos Buttler (80 not out from 49 balls) and Alex Hales (86 not out from 47) made a chase of 169 looks like a walk in the park in the semifinal of the Men's T20 World Cup 2022, powering their team to the final with a convincing 10-wicket win over India. This was only the second time India lost in a T20 World Cup game by 10 wickets, and the only ever team to register this unwanted record. Notably, Pakistan had also registered a similar win last year in their T20 World Cup opener in Dubai when the opening pair of Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan stitched a 152-run stand to beat India by 10 wickets.

Pakistan PM reminded Indian fans of that heartbreaking defeat in his tweet where he mentioned that the final was down to the two teams England and Pakistan, who had defeated India by 10 wickets. "So, this Sunday, it's, 152/0 vs 170/0," Sharif said in a tweet after India's loss to England in the semifinal. Meanwhile, former Pakistan pacer Shoaib Akhtar also criticized Team India post their defeat to England. "India did not deserve to meet us in the MCG or be allowed to take a flight to come to Melbourne because their cricket has been exposed today," Akhtar said on his YouTube channel.
