Pakistan’s disappointing performance in the T20 World Cup 2024 led to their elimination from the tournament when the USA vs Ireland match was rained out in Florida. This marks the second consecutive World Cup where Pakistan has failed to perform well, raising concerns and questions for captain Babar Azam, who was reinstated as the leader before the tournament. The team’s elimination from the World Cup sparked a wave of memes on social media, with people mocking their poor showing in the USA.
Fans are expressing their frustration with the Pakistan cricket team, attributing their poor performance in the T20 World Cup 2024 to more than just bad cricket. Issues such as internal conflicts and fitness problems were apparent within the Babar Azam-led team. Pakistan’s defeat to the United States of America, a newcomer to the cricket scene, was seen as embarrassing by many.
Food-related memes have circulated on the internet, highlighting concerns about the fitness of Pakistan’s cricket players. Following losses to the USA and India in the tournament, star batter Azam Khan was caught eating snacks from a food truck in New York late at night. Some veteran Pakistani players have voiced their displeasure with the team’s performance, with Wasim Akram even calling for the current team to be disbanded and a new team to be formed in its place. Akram expressed frustration with the team’s attitude towards winning, stating that the entire Pakistani community was disappointed by their recent losses.
