PAK vs ZIM: T20 World Cup 2022 has produced some of the most thrilling games to date.But it has also given some really big upsets in its history. We’ve seen big teams give up in front of weaker opponents. One such upset happened in a game between Pakistan and Zimbabwe on Thursday. These two teams met at the Perth Stadium, and Zimbabwe stunned Pakistan with a 1-run victory.
After winning the toss, Zimbabwe could only manage 130/8 in their first innings, which looked like a below-par total. Pakistan were favourites going into the mid-innings break. But what happened next was just an incredible piece of work by Zimbabwe. They didn’t allow Pakistan to score runs easily and, in the end, won the game. The Men in Green could only manage 129/8 and lost the game by just one run.
PAK vs ZIM: Fans mock Pakistan after losing to Zimbabwe
This loss has almost kicked Pakistan out of the competition. They are left with three games to play, and one of those games is against South Africa. Hence, mathematically, there are still chances for Pakistan to qualify, but that looks impossible from here on.
They need to win all their remaining games and then hope that India beats South Africa on Sunday. However, fans couldn’t believe that Pakistan were not able to chase 131 runs and lost the game. Frustrated fans slammed the Pakistani team on different social media platforms.
