The Pakistan cricket team once again exceeded expectations with a stunning victory against Bangladesh during the Twenty20 World Cup by five wickets. Not only did they bag the big win, but the team has also qualified for the semi-finals, sending cricket fans and netizens into a frenzy.

On Sunday, the Green Shirts chased a rather modest score of 128 runs in Adelaide, Australia. The team was able to achieve their target with 11 balls to spare and join arch-rivals India in the final four from Group 2.

In celebration, PM Shehbaz Sharif congratulated everyone while lauding the Pakistan cricket team as well as the Netherlands, who won the match against South Africa. They beat South Africa out of the tournament with a 13-run victory, making way for the Green Shirts to qualify in the semis.

Singer Asim Azhar wrote, “You write us off, we come back stronger. You say we can’t do it, we do it like no other. You say we are done, we start again. You corner us down, we roar like tigers. This is Pakistan cricket.”

PTI Secretary General Asad Umar congratulated Team Green as well.

Cricketer Hassan Ali praised Shaheen Shah Afridi and Muhammad Haris’ performances.

Actor Ushna Shah recalled the 1992 World Cup, praying history repeats itself this year.

A Twitter user had a hard time believing that we’ve now qualified for the semi-finals.

Memes also made their way to celebrate the big win, including a virtual representation of the after-party in the dressing room.

The team qualifying was cause for celebration and shock.

The semi-finals are where you’ll find Team Green next.

Those who actually slept through the match, we feel sorry that you missed it out.

Who do you think Green Shirts will face next at the T20 World Cup?

Civilized Pakistanis shows sportsmanship, doesn't make fun of BD. The come back kids a/k/a Pakistani team has already made Indians nervous. Watch out India we are ready for a win. P.S Pakistan team bat more aggressively.

Greatest fluke of the century.

ENGR Hamid Shafiq Nov 06, 2022 03:50pm

Thank you Netherland due to your efforts should be written in history that Pakistan directly goes to semifinals

T20 is more luck and chance than skill. Anyone can win on any given day and is certainly not a guide of teams strength. Proof is minnows like Ireland beat England. Pakistan and Netherlands beat SA but doesn’t mean either can beat SA or Eng in longer formats! Its just entertainment And should be taken as such

Pakistan very fortunate to be in the semi final. The batting order must be revised as this is the weak link in the team. Well done to our bowlers.

@Hope786 what a way to reach the semifinal, on the back of other teams misfortune or mercy, No worries if the final happen as you all predict, India will beat you again, and that too with out Bumrah.

@Akhlaq Its pakistanis that wrote of Pkaistan, No one in the cricketing world cared much.

@Tejinderpal Utter nonsense. It takes supreme skill and guile to win T20. Just look at the shots SKY played against ZIM today. You can't just hit out and expect to average 16 runs an over. On the other hands, average shots are enough for 50 over games.
