The Pakistani batters struggled to get going against Team India during their T20 World Cup 2022 clash at the Melbourne Cricket Ground on Sunday, October 23.While Shan Masood and Iftikhar Ahmed slammed impressive half-centuries, the rest of the batters failed to make a significant impact in the encounter. Shaheen Afridi produced some late blitz with his 8-ball 16-run knock to make things better for the Men in Green.Apart from the aforementioned three names, all the other Pakistani batters could manage just single-digit scorers in the crucial tie. The Babar Azam-led side finished at 159/8 from their 20 overs after being put in to bat first.A number of fans took to social media, trolling Pakistan for their sub-par performance with the bat against India.
