The Indian cricket team decided a nail biting victory, which turned into a head that many thought were lending in favor of Pakistan’s potential victory. The cross-border team won with six runs despite a modest total of 119 on a challenging pitch.
A lot happened before, during and after the match. Naseem Shah gave him everything, and by the end of the match he was devastated and tore the onslaught of fans with him. Jasprit Bumrah made him hate the entire population while becoming the hero of the other half of the divided subcontinent.
As usual, the game had a certain amount of time on, but the participants, reactions and afterwards all became just as intriguing as the field showdown.
When things were good
There was a time when victory was thought to be possible and there was a sense of understanding of Pakistan’s cricket team. At this point, the seemingly innocent jibe in India of resident cricket enthusiasts and viral sensation Momin Saqib was not as stinging as he looked back. His social media is filled with live comments and post-match blues.
The camera also managed to find many famous faces in attendance. Malala Yousafzai was discovered along with her husband, and many also got a glimpse of Anushka Sharma. Anwar Maqsood was rooting for the team thanks to a video shared by Bilal Maqsood. Humayun Saeed and Hadiqa Kiani were also present.
Ayesha Omar shared a series of images covered in team colors. She said, “No matter what happens, we have hope. We’ll win.” Singer TahaG also shared a video of attendance at the match. Sitting in the Indian sea, he cried out, “Everything is silent” as India appeared to have shifted for a perceptually achievable target.
The memes at this point were also popping up. The account entitled Digink, a hub of Pakistani pop culture content, has released a series of memes that will hit the code at every point during the match. For example, when things seemed to be in the favor of Pakistan, the page posted a screenshot of a viral “Sacrifice my life for Pakistan” video, captioning “I’m watching the match now.” This was followed by a hilarious image of “Dir Dir Pakistan.” The memes became sad as the match progressed.
When things turn south
When Pakistan began to show signs of being framed for defeat and the team ultimately lost, many people had to say a lot. Starting with local celebrities, Asim Azhar used the choice word to tell X (formerly Twitter) that he was “finished” and appropriately added “Goodbye.” Hasan Raheem, who has the singing sensation, said, “Our team is punishing us for something.”
Goodbye, forever I’ve finished this shit

Adnan Siddiqui was less tolerant of his analysis. “I can’t believe it!” he yelled at X.
can’t believe it! The boys in Gully Cricket could have done better. With such a shiny performance, I lost a game that was easy to win. This is not the level of play we expect from you. It’s time to step up and show the real battle! Complete disappointment. #pakvsind pic.twitter.com/cyjoxlidmw

PR Maven Frieha Altaf, while watching the bowlers, said, “I will congratulate India for blessings. It’s truly embarrassing that the Pakistan team couldn’t bring it in!” Umair Jaswal also shared one image of the review, saying, along with “Rip Pakistan Cricket.”
This and that
Of course, there were other reactions that came from the match. One fan, who was unhappy with the excuses the team made, said, “I can’t even blame Babar for bowling today. Should I put Malala on the blame?”
Aaj Tou bowling ko kuch nahi bol saketay babar bhai kya kerna hai malala pe daal dain ??

However, the camera also captured a touching moment when they saw two players from the opposite team showing love and friendship. One X account writes, “One is born with love. Hatred is taught.”
Another post about X went viral in the hilarious history lesson. The English account posted about his lack of knowing what “India vs. Pakistan” is. The legendary response retorted, “No one else did it until you arrived in the subcontinent.”
The coat of arms of Naseem Shah, who gave him the absolute best and showed incredible sportsmanship in the final, she wept tears after the match. Many fans rushed to chase after the team that did the same thing. “You’re a bunch of corrupt thugs. I made my hero cry today,” one fan said on X.
Another admirer posted an image of the mind – yes, the whole organ – and wrote alongside “I am outside the hotel room of Naseem Shah.” Still another said, “Nasem Shah and The Bowlers, you’re worth more once more.”
This defeat puts Pakistan in a precarious position, requiring victory in the rest of the match against Canada and Ireland, and keeping the hopes of Super Eight alive. Meanwhile, both the US and India, with four points each from the two games, are ready to take advantage of the slip-up, with a close look at Pakistan’s progress.
