Sports Desk: Pakistan’s recent defeat against the USA in the ICC men’s T20 World Cup 2024 is not the first time the team has faced a shocking upset in a major tournament.
In fact, Pakistan has a history of faltering against low-ranked or associate member countries.
Here are five memorable upsets: Bangladesh’s 62-run wing in 1999, Ireland’s three wicket victory in 2007, Zimbabwe’s one run-win in 2022, Afghanistan’s eight-wicket win in 2023 and now the USA’s five-run win in the super over in 2024.
The defeats have left fans and experts alike questioning the team’s consistency and ability to perform under pressure.
Despite having a talented squad, Pakistan has struggled to deliver against lesser ranked team, making these upsets a stark reminder of team’s vulnerabilities.
