In an utter dismay and shocking piece of news for Pakistan cricket fans, Afghanistan completely outmuscled the men in green in the three-match T20I series. Rashid Khan-led young Afghans defeated Pakistan by a massive margin of seven wickets in the second of the three-match ODI series at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium in Sharjah.
Notably, it is the first-ever series win for Afghanistan in white-ball cricket against Pakistan. The result was very disappointing for Pak cricket; on the other hand, a section of Indian cricket fans took it as an opportunity to troll the Pakistan Cricket Board and their franchise T20 tournament Pakistan Super League.
The fans took to Twitter to come up with some hard and fast-lined trolling reactions and responses for the Pakistan cricket team.
Here’s how fans reacted:

New Indian T20I team defeated SL and NZ.
New Pak T20I team gets thrashed by Afghan 2-0.
Always been of opinion Pak lacks bench strength, they have 2-3 good players but that's where it stops.
This series win will definitely mark the start of Afghanistan's dominance over Pakistan

Speaking of the entire action of the match, Pak skipper Shadab Khan won the flip of the coin and decided to bat first but he went on to be proven wrong because Pakistan could post a total of only 130 runs for the loss of six wickets in the allotted 20 overs.
It was only the star all-rounder Imad Wasim who played a struggling knock of 64 runs off 57 balls with three boundaries and two sixes to his name. Other than him, only the skipper Shadab Khan could cross the individual mark of 30+ runs with a knock of 32 runs. On the back of these knocks, Pakistan somehow managed to reach a total of 130 runs in 20 overs.
While chasing the target, the star opening batter and wicketkeeper Rahmanullah Gurbaz played a crucial knock of 44 runs off 49 balls with two boundaries and a six on his credit. Apart from him, the number blistering number three batter Ibrahim Zadran also played a match-defining knock of 38 runs to help Afghanistan win the match in 19.5 overs by a margin of seven wickets to take an unassailable lead of 2-0 in the three-match series.
