Pakistan team was on the edge of being eliminated from the ongoing edition of the 20-20 World Cup after losing their first two-game consecutively against India and the minnows like Zimbabwe. Everybody was criticizing the men in green as they were on the brink of an early exit from the eighth edition of the marquee tournament in such an early phase of the super-12 round.
They were well aware of the fact they could not make it to the knockouts if they won all their remaining matches. But what happened on Sunday during a game between the Netherlands and South Africa has left everyone shocked and surprised in the entire cricketing fraternity. The shocking win of the Netherlands miraculously helped the men in green to make it to the semis of the tournament.
This amazing bounce back of Babar’s men despite having lower points the defending champions and the hosts Australians who have been knocked out of the tournament have seven points to their name in the table has left fans in a shock.
An exciting and sort of impossible scenario made the cricket fans on social media transform into the memers. They took no time in coming up with some hilarious memes while taking a dig at Australia’s unexpected exit from the super-12 round only.
Here’s a look at some best memes following a surprising turn-around of things in the 20-20 World Cup 2022:
