While Florida was drenched in raindrops, Pakistani fans eagerly watched the dramatic clash between the United States and Ireland. However, the Rain Gods intervened, causing Pakistan to crash out of the 2024 ICC Men’s T20 World Cup when incessant rain abandoned the group match at the Central Broward Regional Park Stadium Turf Ground in Lauderhill, Florida.
Frustrated Pakistanis turned to humor and flooded social media with memes, relentlessly trolling their team’s performance and the unfortunate events that sealed their fate. They posted everything from witty jabs to brutal roasts, criticizing their squad for the mishaps and tragic circumstances that led to their exit from the T20 World Cup. See:

Pakistan fans eagerly anticipated an Ireland win on Friday, as their path to the Super 8 depended on it. However, a wet outfield led to a washout, giving the USA and Ireland a point each. With wins over Canada and Pakistan, the United States advanced to the Super Eights series with a remarkable 5 points. Pakistan, which faces Ireland in Florida on Sunday, can only muster four points.
Pakistan’s troubles began with a shocking defeat in the opening match in Dallas against hosts USA, who were making their T20 World Cup debut. In the Super Over, Pakistan’s top players stumbled, conceding 18 runs and allowing Saurabh Netravalkar to secure a famous victory for the USA. Under immense pressure, Pakistan faced India on June 9 in New York. Despite an excellent bowling performance led by Naseem Shah, restricting India to 119 runs, Pakistan’s batting collapsed. Jasprit Bumrah’s exceptional spell resulted in a narrow six-run defeat, severely denting Pakistan’s hopes of reaching the Super 8 series.
