T20 World Cup 2022: Meme fest on social media Zimbabwe stun Pakistan in a last-ball thriller

0

Pakistan
needed
11
to
win
off
the
final
over
of
a
pulsating
evening,
and
that
equation
came
down
to
three
from
three
with
the
well-set
Mohammad
Nawaz
at
the
crease.
But
25-year-old
Brad
Evans
produced
three
stunning
deliveries
right
when
it
mattered.

First,
he
fizzed
through
a
pacy
bouncer
that
Nawaz
failed
to
connect
with.
And
a
miscue
off
the
penultimate
ball
had
Nawaz
caught
at
mid-off
by
captain
Craig
Ervine,
a
wicket
that
saw
both
batters
sink
to
their
knees,
with
heartbreak
again
for
Nawaz
in
the
second
successive
match.

Shaheen
Shah
Afridi
punted
the
final
ball
down
the
ground,
tearing
back
in
a
desperate
attempt
for
a
second
run
to
tie
the
match.
Wicket-keeper
Regis
Chakabva
fumbled
the
throw
at
first
but
recovered
to
whip
off
the
bails
with
Afridi
still
short
of
his
ground,
sparking
jubilant
scenes
among
the
Zimbabwe
players
and
supporters.

Pakistan
had
made
a
measured
start
to
the
chase
of
131
to
win,
but
two
huge
Powerplay
wickets
gave
Zimbabwe
a
sniff
as
the
big-name
opening
pair
both
went
cheaply.

Babar
Azam
was
squared
up
by
a
lovely
piece
of
bowling
from
Brad
Evans
to
be
sent
back
for
just
four
runs
off
nine
balls.
And
the
outstanding
Blessing
Muzarabani
cleaned
up
Mohammad
Rizwan
via
an
inside
edge
for
14
(16).

After
Iftikhar
Ahmed
was
also
removed
cheaply,
Pakistan
seemingly
got
the
match
under
control
with
a
solid
partnership
between
Shan
Masood
and
Shadab
Khan
to
reach
88/3
with
six
and
a
half
overs
still
remaining.

But
the
inspired
Zimbabwe
all-rounder
Sikandar
Raza
took
two
wickets
in
two
balls
to
remove
Shadab
and
Haider
Ali,
before
having
Masood
stumped
in
his
very
next
over
to
give
Zimbabwe
hope
and
set
up
a
big
finish.

Pakistan’s
second
defeat
in
the
Super
12
stage
on
the
final
delivery
of
the
match
triggered
a
meme
fest
on
Twitter
as
they
started
trolling
them:
