Fans react to Pakistan defeat [Source: @UmpireFourth/x]
Pakistan succumbed to a huge seven-wicket defeat against Bangladesh in the first T20I of the three-match series. Batting first at the Sher-e Bangla National Stadium in Mirpur, the ‘Men in Green’ folded up for just 110 runs upfront before Bangladesh opener Parvez Hossain Emon anchored the chase for the hosts with a sublime 56*.
As one can expect, Pakistan’s big defeat sparked a widespread outrage among fans of the national team, with several of them questioning the team selection as well as their playing tactics. A number of Pakistan fans also questioned the exclusion of senior pros like Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan, and called out captain Agha Salman for his failure in employing aggressive intent in the team.
