The 19th match of the T20 World Cup 2024 was played between India and Pakistan on Sunday. In this exciting match, India won against Pakistan by 6 runs. In such a situation, now the path to reach the Super-8 has become difficult for Pakistan. After this defeat, from PCB Chairman Mohsin Naqvi to former Pakistani players are expressing their displeasure.

Pakistan lost the match it had already won

Babar Azam and his team are being criticized a lot after Pakistan’s six-run defeat to India in the T20 World Cup. Questions are being raised on not being able to win despite restricting India to 119 runs. Chasing India’s target of 120 runs, Pakistan was playing well by scoring 72 runs for 2 wickets after 12 overs and Mohammad Rizwan and Fakhar Zaman were present at the crease. But after this the match slowly turned in India’s favour.

Now the situation has worsened to such an extent that there is a deep crisis on Pakistan’s qualification to the Super 8. Amidst these criticisms, former Pakistani captain Shoaib Malik has appealed to Babar to leave the captaincy from today.

If your (Babar Azam) brain doesn’t work at such a time, then when will it work? Shoaib Malik

“I have been saying for a long time that please leave the captaincy. You are a great player and you will be able to show your class only when you do not have any additional responsibility. If Babar stays away from captaincy, it will be good for him.”

“People keep talking about the strike rate of Babar and Rizwan, so you brought in Saim Ayub. 120 runs had to be scored. Why were you trying to improve your strike rate yesterday? The stage was set in every way. If as a leader and batsman, your mind doesn’t work in these kinds of situations, then when will it work?”
