It is not known at the moment whether Australia will cry after being out of the T20 World Cup 2024 or not. But, Pakistan has definitely got disappointment. Yes, sadness is not leaving Pakistan even after its exit from the T20 World Cup 2024. Before spoiling Australia's glory, Afghanistan has done the job of spoiling Pakistan's chances. They did this due to their explosive performance against Bangladesh.

Now you must be wondering what did Afghanistan do against Bangladesh that has had an impact on Pakistan, a team that was eliminated from the tournament before Australia? So the reason for this is Afghanistan's opening pair and the partnership of runs between them.
