'Can be chased in 10 overs' - Fans unhappy as Pakistan loses four wickets while chasing a small target against Netherlands

Advertisment

Pakistan locked horns in the third match of their campaign in the ongoing 20-20 World Cup 2022. Dutch skipper Scott Edwards won the toss and decided to bat first at the Perth Stadium in Perth. Batting first, the Netherlands batting collapsed against the premier pace attack of Pakistan and the brilliance of Pakistan vice-captain and all-rounder Shadab Khan. Eventually, the Netherlands got bundled up only on the score of 91 runs.

While chasing the target, Pakistan lost four wickets however, they crossed the finishing line in 13.5 overs to register their first win in the tournament. Although Pakistan fans heaved a sigh of relief, but they were also not happy with the intent of Babar & co. showed during the run-chase.

They took to Twitter for expressing their reactions to Pakistan’s first win in the super-12 stage following two consecutive defeats against India and Zimbabwe respectively.
