"Congratulations Pakistan for reaching Karachi airport" - Fans troll Men in Green after they get eliminated from 2024 T20 World Cup

Pakistan were officially eliminated from the 2024 T20 World Cup after the match between the USA and Ireland in Florida was abandoned due to rain on June 14. The Men in Green put themselves in a position where they needed Ireland to win against the USA to stay alive in the competition.

However, with the points shared, the USA moved to five points, with Pakistan only on two with a game remaining. Babar Azam's men entered the tournament with high hopes after an impressive showing in the previous two T20 World Cups in 2021 and 2022.

They qualified for the semi-final in 2021 and went a step further in 2022 before losing in the final against England at the Melbourne Cricket Ground.

Yet, their 2024 campaign never took off after a shocking defeat to the USA in the opener. Pakistan followed that debacle with another batting collapse against India from a winnable position to fall short by six runs.

While they kept a glimmer of hope alive with a convincing seven-wicket win over Canada, their tournament came to a shockingly early halt with the USA-Ireland washout.

Fans on Twitter had a field day trolling the Pakistan side after the news of the USA-Ireland clash being abandoned came through. Here are some of the best reactions:

The Pakistan trolling continued with one fan saying:

"Congratulations Pakistan for reaching Karachi airport and I wish a good luck atleast for next ICC international tournament,not to dependent on other teams to reach atleast super 8."

"The cricket Pakistan has played in this world cup,they don't deserve a place in super 8," said a fan.

"What about pakistan . How they are in such situation even playing 3 series before world cup. Pakistan did a lot of preparation still couldn’t win against USA," a fan tweeted.
