In international cricket competitions, the feelings of the Pakistani nation for the national cricket team have always been at their peak, especially when the competition is against the traditional rival India, then children and old people all yearn for the success of their team, but unfortunately, the national team has been disappointing their countrymen for a long time.

Still, with every new competition, people hope their Shaheens will do well, but they usually face disappointment. This is what happened the other day in the high-voltage match between India and Pakistan in the T20 World Cup in New York. After losing their first match to America, our national team also lost to India.Although the Pakistani bowlers sent all the Indian players to the pavilion before the last over and limited them to just 119 runs, they provided an easy target of 120 runs for their batsmen. It was India's lowest score in international T20 matches, but none of the Pakistani batsmen could show responsibility. Rizwan's wicket turned the tide of the game. In pursuit of the target of 120, the Pakistani team could score only 113 runs for seven wickets. Thus, the match which could have been easily won was lost due to the poor performance of the Pakistani batsmen. Chairman Pakistan Cricket Board Mohsin Naqvi has commented after this defeat that it seemed that minor surgery of the cricket team will work but after today's very poor performance, he is convinced that major surgery is needed in the team. What can be said about this expression of his opinion.

If the flaws in the team that were pointed out by the experts had been rectified, then it was possible that the national team would have achieved significant success in the World Cup, but now the chances of this happening are almost gone.Earlier, the matchagainst America was also very disappointing.

The unknown American team, which participated in the T20 World Cup cricket for the first time, has spoiled the expectations of the nation with a humiliating defeat to the former champion Pakistan. This uncertain defeat in the group match in Dallas on Thursday last made it difficult for Pakistan to reach the finals and Super Eight stage of the tournament. Even against the new American team, his batting did not work, his bowling and fielding did not show any perfection. An inexperienced team that included more immigrant youth from around the world than Americans. Past champions and expected future winners beat the Pakistani team. After winning the toss, Pakistan batted first and surprised the world by scoring 159 runs for seven wickets. In the Super Over, Pakistan's Mohammad Amir scored 18 runs, which included 8 extra runs. America has beaten Canada in their first match which has strengthened their position while Pakistan has to beat India in their second match on June 9 which is a question mark.  The Indo-Pak cricket matches usually attract big crowds and  same was seen in their clash with each other in the US.

It will be difficult, which is unacceptable for the nation, so the Pakistani team and its organizers will have to plan a new strategy to win the next match. They should get rid of the recommended players who have been added to the team and prioritize the talent. Only a strong team can remove the disappointment of the nation. It is a matter of national pride, it should not be compromised. Cricket is the most popular sport of Pakistan and losing it to a small team is very shameful.In fact, cricket is the most popular sport of the subcontinent, and the current mega event is being jointly hosted by the United States and the West Indies this time, and for the first time in history.As many as 20 teams are participating in this tournament while the number of teams in the T20 World Cup competitions played between 2014 and 2022 was 16. West Indies previously hosted the KT20 World Cup in 2010 while USA will host the game for the first time. America's hosting is also very important symbolically in the sense that earlier China is proving its superiority in various sports competitions.

The big country America has been chosen where the popularity of cricket is negligible. It is expected that the American administration will now give an impression of proving its superiority to the world through sports diplomacy. According to some commentators, cricket is not a new game for America, but 300 years ago, the British team visited America before visiting Australia, but the political conditions of that time affected the game and cricket did not find a place in America. Skiing and baseball are popular sports among Americans.

Basketball is also very popular in the US. But cricket is also gaining roots now there.Most cricket fans in the United States during the ongoing World Cup consist of immigrants. It is being said that the largest number of fans are from the West Indies, followed by the number of Indian and Pakistani fans, and the fans of other countries will not be behind. This time also the T20 World Cup consists of three stages. These three rounds include the group stage, super eight and then the knockout stage ie semi-finals and finals. As reported, as many as four groups have been formed in this series. There are five teams in each group that will play each other in the first stage and then the top two teams in each group will qualify for the Super Eight stage. The eight teams that reach the Super Eight stage will compete against each other and these The top four teams will advance to the knockout stage where two semi-finals and then the final will be held.This time the Pakistani cricket team has been placed in Group A and this group includes the teams of Canada, Ireland and America besides its traditional rivals India. India and Pakistan are arch rivals and cricket matches between the two Asian giants create a lot of interest among the viewers, who love to see both the teams playing against each other.
