You give the Pakistani cricket team impossible odds and they’ll show you what miracles are made of

The Green Shirts qualified for the T20 World Cup final after defeating New Zealand by seven wickets and Twitter couldn't be happier.
09 Nov, 2022

Impossible odds, you say? That’s what the Green Shirts eat for breakfast. In a clean sweep of a match, Pakistan knocked New Zealand out of the T20 World Cup semifinal. Just when we thought they had reached the point of no return and gave up on them, they made an unexpected U-turn, outdoing even themselves.

On Wednesday, team Pakistan lost the toss to New Zealand who chose to bat first. Despite past games indicating that luck favours those who bowl second, fans were not at all worried. There were constant comparisons of this World Cup with 1992’s, which Pakistan won under the captaincy of Imran Khan. Chasing a 153-run target set by New Zealand turned out to be less stressful than expected. Instead of heart failure, fans experienced a rare ecstasy all thanks to Babar Azam’s smashing comeback, enhanced by his partnership with Muhammad Rizwan.

Even though it was happening right in front of our eyes, we struggled to process our own happiness.

Oh and they reached another milestone while at it. Just king sh*t.

Us fr.

On one hand, we’re shocked.

On the other, yes we’re in the finals AND WHAT ABOUT IT?

They really just switched up their act, surprising even their fans.

We’re not complaining though.

We do know what the real strategy at play is.

An apology line for the GOAT please.

Some fans are taking it a step further and welcoming the skipper in their family lines.

Another comeback that had us cheering was Shaheen Shah Afridi’s.

Tbh, we were scared till the very last ball.

Please @ God.

Do you think Pakistan is bringing the World Cup back home this year?

There is no miracle here today or was in 1992, both times South Africa had bad luck with rain, both times Pakistan benefitted, even though their performance was poor both times. Luck and one good or bad day makes all the difference.

From botched dismissal of Shakib by third umpire, to Dutch beating SA, to first over catch drop of Babar against NZ, understand one thing Pakistan cricket is at it's best only when tons of miracles/good luck behind it. And as is the case with miracles, they do not happen every day. Enjoy till it lasts.

We don't wish to play India at all simply because they only ever speak of boycotting us. Indeed the hypocrisy is pathetic. They should forfeit all matches against us in line with their national policy. Go home, and take Amit Shah's son with you. Leave us and England to play out the gentleman's game to an honourable conclusion.

@Punjabi first 5th out of total 15 of total 5 zones in is still an achievement, encouraging a national team does not hurt my ego, rather reliefs. Let's have positive approach to change this day if not the life.
