Wasim Akram: Everyone saw Pakistan's poor performance in the T20 World Cup 2024. Probably no one would have imagined that Pakistan, which won the T20 title in 2009, would have to kneel before the USA. Pakistan had to pay a heavy price for losing two matches in a row in the league stage. Millions of Pakistani fans were heartbroken after losing the second match against India. After this match, former legendary Pakistani fast bowler Wasim Akram has vented his anger on camera. He believes that now the water has gone above the head.

Someone has to tell the truth- Wasim Akram

  • After losing the match to India by 6 runs, Pakistan had to face criticism from all sides.
    Veteran player Wasim Akram also slammed Pakistan. After the match, in his conversation with Navjot Singh Sidhu, he said,
  • "There is so much support for the Pakistani team now, I don't care if it goes viral but someone has to speak the truth about this Pakistani team. It is getting out of hand."

Pakistan lost the match which they won

  • Pakistan's bowlers performed brilliantly against India and restricted the Indian team to just 119 runs in 19 overs.
  • While chasing the target, Pakistan had almost won the match.
    The match was in Pakistan's favor till 14 overs. The Pak team was batting at 80/3 runs.
  • But after this Jaspreet Bumrah's brilliant bowling restricted Pakistan to 113/7 runs.
    Now former Pakistani players are unable to digest the defeat.

Nature's rule did not work

  • Pakistan had to win against Ireland by a big margin to qualify for the Super 8. After this, Pakistan's path to the Super 8 would have been clear only after USA's defeat in the Ireland and USA match.
  • But the Pakistan vs Ireland match was washed out by rain and Pakistan's journey ended before the World Cup 2024.
