The much-anticipated encounter between Pakistan and India ended in disappointment for Indian supporters, with the team losing by 10 wickets in their maiden T20 World Cup game. Many people rushed to social media after the game to express their disappointment, while others expressed optimism for the next encounter.

Indian supporters were anticipating a run-fest and a good combination between openers Rohit Sharma and KL Rahul after Pakistan won the toss. However, Pakistan got off to a strong start after Shaheen Shah Afridi dismissed Sharma on the first ball he faced in the game, followed by Rahul’s wicket. While Indian supporters were optimistic when skipper Virat Kohli stabilized the game, losing wickets quickly dashed their hopes.

Furthermore, Pakistan’s outstanding performance, particularly the partnership between Mohammad Rizwan and skipper Babar Azam, which resulted in India’s 10-wicket defeat at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium, drew plaudits from netizens. The two players easily chased down the 152-run mark, giving Pakistan its first T20 World Cup victory over India.

Following the match, Indian fans turned to social media to voice their dissatisfaction with the performance. Many people also congratulated Pakistan on their win. Take a look at some of the various responses following India’s match against Pakistan:
