Pakistan’s T20 World Cup voyage came to a dismal end on Friday, as the squad failed to advance to the Super 8 round of the competition. Pakistan was eliminated because the United States of America’s game versus Ireland was called off due to weather. The United States was given one point, which was enough to advance them to the Super 8 stage in their first appearance in the event. Following Pakistan’s shocking elimination, veteran bowler Shoaib Akhtar voiced his dismay.Akhtar took to X and posted a one-line message: “Pakistan’s World Cup journey is over.”Pakistan wanted Ireland to beat the United States before facing the Irish in their last group stage encounter. However, a tie means they can only score four points. Meanwhile, the USA finished the group league campaign with five points from four games, joining India in the next round from Group A.
