Another chimed in, “Anxiety, blood pressure fluctuations, trauma, nausea, and mental health issues begin tonight,” while a third criticised, “Not to forget these players were enjoying feast at Yasir Hameed’s house just two days before the wc match, most unserious and unprofessional team ever in history of sport.”

The post-match analysis pointed fingers at several players, but the main target was captain Babar Azam. His sluggish start in the powerplay was a major setback, batting with a strike rate of just 26 in the first six overs and barely improving to a strike rate of 100 before getting out. His inability to accelerate the innings put immense pressure on the rest of the batting lineup, which included Fakhar Zaman, Azam Khan, and Iftikhar Ahmed—all of whom failed to make significant contributions.

Pakistan’s bowling attack couldn’t defend the total, taking only three wickets as the USA matched the score in a nail-biting final over. USA’s Aaron Jones and Nitish Kumar heroically scored 11 runs off the last three balls to push the match into a Super Over. In the Super Over, Pakistan faltered, both with the bat and ball, ultimately losing by five runs.
