Despite the heartbreaking loss against England in the final of the 2022 T20 World Cup, Pakistan fans have hailed the team’s fighting spirit.
After suffering narrow defeats against India and Zimbabwe, Pakistan bounced back to make it to the final. However, England proved a bit too good for Pakistan as they beat Pakistan by 5 wickets.
Fans particularly praised the efforts of Pakistani bowlers who made England sweat despite the low target.
Congratulations England, a new World Champion.🎉🎉
Well fought Pakistan, you made it into the finals & made us proud! Keep improving. 👏👏— Aalia Rasheed (@aaliaaaliya) November 13, 2022
Proud of the team, journey to the final was special. Great character. In the end, Eng deserving champions. Still think Pak has immense resources in this format, slight improvement needed in the tactical department. Small mistakes such as Ifti v spin instead of Shadab> (1/3)

Well played Stokes. Congratulations England. Well deserved winners. Huge respect to our bowling. Especially Shaheen, Naseem, Haris and Shadab. Well fought. Batting let us down yet again. Sigh. Another heart break. 😔

Needed everything to go perfectly to defend a below par score. Tons of plays and misses, catches dropping short or going just over, main bowler getting injured. Just not our day. Well done @TheRealPCB – proud of you boys

It is pertinent to mention here that both Haris Rauf and Shaheen Shah Afridi suffered injuries during the match. Rauf returned to complete his quota of overs but Shaheen was unable to complete his spell due to the knee injury he sustained while taking the catch of Harry Brook.
