T20 World Cup 2024: Memes take over as Pakistan gets eliminated
Pakistan's disappointing run at the ongoing T20 World Cup 2024, co-hosted by the US and West Indies, came to a crashing end on Friday as the Americans advanced to the Super Eight stage. The US, with two wins under their belt, moved to the second round after their last group game against Ireland was washed out. This result meant that Pakistan, with only one win in three matches, and winless Ireland were eliminated from the tournament.

Social media flooded with memes
As Pakistan made a not-so-shocking early exit, the internet was flooded with "Qudrat ka Inteqam" (Nature's Revenge) memes.

Pakistan at T20 World Cup
Pakistan, who won the T20 World Cup in 2009 and reached two more finals, came into the tournament in the US and West Indies with high hopes. However, things did not go as planned for Babar Azam and his team. They lost their opener against debutant USA in a super over. Matters only worsened for Pakistan from there as they lost to arch-rivals India in a low-scoring match. Pakistan's only win in the tournament came against Canada on Tuesday.

World Cup or vacation
It wasn't just their poor performance in the tournament that put the focus on the Pakistan team. The inclusion of Azam Khan in the World Cup squad has been heavily criticized by both fans and former players. Khan has been criticized for his fitness and form in this tournament, and he has failed to justify his selection. He was even caught enjoying street food at night in New York, just hours after the team lost to India.
