Former India player Virender Sehwag has mocked Pakistan for their elimination from the ICC World Cup 2023
New Zealand’s five-wicket win over Sri Lanka ended all hopes for the Men in Green and Afghanistan.
Pakistan will have to beat England by 287 runs or chase the target in a span of few overs to go ahead of New Zealand’s net run-rate.
The task is impossible for a team which lost four successive games in the tournament. Babar Azam hasn’t done anything remarkable in the batting department, while Shaheen Afridi has been a big letdown as a bowler.
Fans and cricket experts were hoping for a semi-final between India and Pakistan at the Eden Gardens on November 15, but Kiwis have dashed all permutations.
Sehwag, who is known for his witty remarks, took to X to troll the neighbouring country.
“Pakistan Zindabhaag! Have a safe flight back home,” he wrote.
India will clash with New Zealand in the first semi-final, while South Africa and Australia are set to compete in the second knock-out.
