Naseem Shah Breaks Down in Tears Following Loss to India
In a charged ICC T20 World Cup 2024 Group A clash at the Nassau County Cricket Stadium in New York on Sunday, India triumphed over Pakistan by six runs.
India posted a total of 119 runs in 19 overs before being bowled out. Despite this modest score, they successfully defended it by restricting Pakistan to 113 runs for the loss of 7 wickets in their 20 overs.
Pacer Naseem Shah, who took three wickets for Pakistan in the first innings, was visibly emotional, breaking down in tears after the defeat to India. He was comforted by Shaheen Afridi after the Pakistan chase.
The loss left Pakistan fans feeling disheartened on Monday, especially after the defeat to arch-rivals India, which compounded their T20 World Cup woes. Some fans even considered the campaign lost after just two matches.
This defeat came on the heels of Pakistan’s loss to the USA last Thursday, adding to their disappointment. The debutants, co-hosting the tournament, managed to defeat the finalists and 2009 champions in a thrilling Super Over encounter in Texas.
