Fans rejoice as Pakistan enters semifinals

The Pakistan cricket team has been on a roll during the T20 Men’s World Cup 2021, with the squad making its way to the semifinals following four consecutive wins. The men in green did not let any difficulty hinder their goal of chasing the trophy and stayed unbeaten throughout. With Babar Azam’s strategized captaincy and dependable players like Asif Ali, Mohammad Rizwan, Shoaib Malik, Shaheen Afridi, and Haris Rauf, this team’s lineup is as strong as it can be. While our society is quick to judge and get disappointed, the team left no room for criticism this time. All our bets are on Pakistan bringing the trophy back home!

“We came, we played, we conquered and we’ll continue to do so,” former Pakistani cricketer Saeed Ajmal wrote on Twitter. He added, “Officially qualified for semifinals! All the hard work by the boys has finally bore fruit!” He also praised the opening duo, Babar and Rizwan, for becoming the “1st opening pair in T20I Cricket with Five 100+ partnerships” and congratulated the team on its winning streak.

A fan and cricket enthusiast, Mazher Arshad penned, “First time in 9 years Pakistan has reached the semi-finals stage of any World Cup. Congratulations Team. You have won our hearts.”
