On 6 November 2022, Pakistan took on Bangladesh in their last game of the group stage in this ongoing 20-20 World Cup. Before that, South Africa took on the Netherlands in Adelaide. Pakistani fans were hoping for a win for the Dutch as that only could boost their chances of getting into the semi-finals.

However, the Netherlands did not disappoint Pakistan as they defeated the mighty Proteas by 13 runs. After that result, Pakistan were looking to defeat Bangladesh as that became a knockout for both teams. The Netherlands scored 158 runs for four wickets in 20 overs. In response, the Proteas managed only 145 runs for eight wickets in 20 overs.

Bangladesh scored only 127 runs for eight wickets in 20 overs against Pakistan

Speaking of the clash between Pakistan and Bangladesh, Shakib-al-Hasan won the toss and elected to bat first. For them, Najmul Hossain Shanto and Litton Das came out to open the innings. Only, Shanto scored 54 runs off 48 balls, including seven fours. But, other batters failed to score significantly as Bangladesh scored only 127 runs for eight wickets in 20 overs. For the Men in Green, Shaheen Afridi took four wickets for 22 runs in his four overs. But, a controversy happened over the dismissal of Bangladesh skipper, Shakib-al-Hasan.

The incident took place during the 11th over of Bangladesh’s innings. Shadab Khan was bowling in that over. On the fifth delivery of that over, Shaking-al-Hasan came out to bat. On the first delivery, he got out courtesy of an LBW decision. He took a review and it showed some spikes when the ball passed the bat. Still, the third umpire gave him out and it did not make Shakib Happy. Seeing such a decision in a crucial match like this, Indian fans went crazy. They came out on social media platforms and started to call Pakistan ‘cheaters’ for having such a decision in their favour.

Here is how fans have slammed Pakistan for the decision in the ongoing 20-20 World Cup:
