Why did Pakistan lose face in T20 World Cup 2024? Know the 4 big reasons for the defeat

Finally, what the entire Pakistani public feared happened. Pakistan is out of the T20 World Cup 2024. The match between Ireland and America was canceled due to rain and with this the American team reached the Super 8, while Pakistan was eliminated from the T20 World Cup. Pakistan started this tournament very poorly, the side-effects of which it had to face.

The Pakistani team lost the first match to America. This defeat was also in the Super Over. After this, it lost the match against Team India as well. In the end, it won against Canada but by then it was too late. Now the question is, what is the reason behind this failure of Pakistan? Why did the Pakistani team, which won the T20 World Cup in 2009, get eliminated in the first round this time?

The first major reason for Pakistan's defeat

The biggest reason for Pakistan's defeat was its poor strategy. Babar and company could not even set their playing eleven.

In tournaments like the T20 World Cup, the playing eleven has to be balanced from the first match itself and Pakistan failed in this. As a result, it had to face defeat from the American team.

The second big reason for Pakistan's defeat

The second major reason for the defeat of the Pakistani team was Babar Azam's captaincy. Babar Azam could not use his bowlers properly on important occasions. In the match against America, many flaws were seen in his captaincy. Under Babar's captaincy, Pakistan has lost 4 ICC tournaments since 2021. Apart from this, Asia Cup is also included in this.

The third major reason for Pakistan's defeat

The third major reason for Pakistan's defeat was the failure of both its batsmen and bowlers. Pakistan's bowling failed in the match against America. Firstly, Haris Rauf gave 12 runs in the last 3 balls and took the match to the super over and after this, Mohammad Aamir's poor bowling and Rizwan's poor keeping forced Pakistan to face defeat against America. Pakistan's bowling was good against Team India but then its batsmen betrayed the team. The Pakistani team could not achieve the target of 120 runs and had to face defeat by 6 runs.

The fourth and biggest reason for Pakistan's defeat

The biggest reason for Pakistan's defeat is the politics of the PCB and the team. In the Pakistan Cricket Board, presidents change like the weather. When the president changes, the captains also change. Recently, Babar Azam was removed from the captaincy. Shaheen Afridi was given the command in his place and then Babar Azam was made the captain again. Due to these actions of the Pakistan Board, differences arose among the players and they did not appear united as a team. Wasim Akram himself said that if many players in the Pakistani team do not talk to each other properly, then how will they win the match?
