T20 World Cup 2024: Pakistan is playing its last match in the tournament today (16 June) against Ireland in Florida. Ireland has given Pakistan a target of 107 runs to win. The team is already out of the race for Super-8, due to which winning or losing in this match does not matter much. But yes, the team will definitely want to win the hearts of its fans with a win in the last match.
Meanwhile, a video is becoming viral on social media in which two fielders Shaheen Afridi and Usman Khan collided with each other while taking a catch.
Shaheen and Usman Khan collided while catching the catch
Imad Wasim was bowling the 14th over of Ireland’s innings. On the third ball, Mark Adair tried to hit a big shot, and the ball went very high. Shaheen Afridi from long-on and Usman Khan from mid-wicket ran to catch the ball. There was no call from either side that they were going to catch the ball.
While running with their eyes on the ball, both the players collided with each other. But the good thing was that Shaheen Afridi caught the ball, after which he fell down on the ground. On this video, fans are again seen targeting the Pakistani players.

Pakistan was shocked by its defeat against America and India
In the very first match of the T20 World Cup 2024, Pakistan had to face defeat against America by 5 runs in the Super Over. Which is one of the biggest upsets in the history of the tournament. Then in the match against India, it seemed that Pakistan would win easily. But the team could not chase the target of 120 runs and lost the match by 6 runs.
After losing the first two matches, it was difficult to reach the Super-8 by winning the next two matches, and this is exactly what happened. The team won against Canada, but then the team was out of the tournament due to the cancellation of the match between America and Ireland in Florida. The ongoing tournament has been like a nightmare for the runner-up of the last T20 World Cup. Now the team will have to play the qualifiers to participate in the next T20 World Cup.
