Pakistan’s loss to Zimbabwe has had a bad impact on the mental health of not just the players but also their fans. After all, the former champions’ chances of qualifying for the semis of the 20-20 World Cup 2022 are dim. They need to be dependent on the other team’s results while winning their remaining three games. In the midst of all this, a video of Pakistan’s famous comedian and Zimbabwe fan is going viral.
In the video, the Zimbabwe fan could be heard saying “Tum Haare, Tum Haare to Momin repeatedly.” After this, the famous Pakistani comic replied by saying Koi baat nahi, haar kar jeetnay wale ko Baazigar kehte hain. We will be back soon.” The video was captioned: “Congratulations to Zimbabwe on their first win against Pakistan in the history of ICC tournaments! Koi baat nahi, haar kar jeetnay wale ko Baazigar kehte hain. We will be back soon.”

Talking about the 2009 winners’ journey in the tournament, they might have won these games. In the games against India and Zimbabwe, both were lost on the last ball of the game. One can say that they choked in the important moments of the game. Against India, the last over, bowled by Mohammad Nawaz, was full of drama. He started the over well with a wicket and three runs. Just when the game was pretty much in the bag for Pakistan, Nawaz conceded a six on a beamer which proved costly in the end.
Also, in the game against Zimbabwe, Nawaz brought the team close and needed to score three runs off as many balls. However, he played a dot ball and lost his wicket on the penultimate ball of the game. This led to the team losing the game by one run. It will be interesting to see whether Pakistan can make a comeback in the tournament.
