'What's Wrong With This Pakistan Team?': Shocked Waqar Younis Slams Babar Azam & Co After 1st T20I Defeat vs Ireland
The defeat left the entire Pakistan cricketing fraternity in shock with many taking to social media to slam the team's performance, Waqar Younis being one of them.
Former Pakistan captain Waqar Younis could not believe what he saw on the field from Babar Azam and Co as they lost the first T20I against Ireland in Dublin on Saturday.
Babar's 57 and 45 runs from opener Saim Ayub helped Pakistan post a competitive 182 for 5 on the board but their bowlers failed to defend the total as Andrew Balbirnie's 77 saw the Irish home in the final over with 5 wickets and 1 balls to spare.
Harry Tector (36) and George Dockrell (24) also played crucial knocks for the Irish. This was their first ever win in the shortest format against Pakistan in 2 T20Is.
Ireland's last international win over Pakistan came 17 years ago in the 2007 ODI World Cup during the group stage.
The latest defeat left the entire Pakistan cricketing fraternity in shock with many taking to social media to slam the team's performance, Waqar Younis being one of them.
"Are you serious. #PAKvIRE What’s wrong with this Pakistan team ???Congratulations #TeamIreland," Younis tweeted.
