CRICKET
Pakistan were beaten by England by six in their T20 World Cup warmup match, however, the fielding from Babar Azam's side was not up to the mark.
Pakistan were on the end of a crushing six-wicket loss against England in their T20 World Cup 2022 warmup clash on Monday. The Three Lions won the contest with 26 balls left, after the match had to be reduced to 19 overs per side due to rain.
Apart from the defeat though, Babar Azam's side were really disappointing in terms of their fielding, with multiple catches being dropped and various misfields as well.
Fair to say that it wasn't a good day in the office for the Green Army, but they were brutally trolled on social media after their loss to England.
While some fans called out Pakistan for their previous not-so-good displays in terms of fielding, others shared hilarious memes, as usual.

Pakistan fielding is one of them. pic.twitter.com/xyQlkbxd69
The fact that someone is getting paid to better Pakistan's fielding is probably the biggest con job ever. #T20WorldCup2022

Even the teams who have won their qualification matches have been superb in the field. Namibia and Scotland are prime examples. #T20WorldCup

Talking about the match, England skipper Jos Buttler had won the toss and chose to bowl. Pakistan subsequently put up 160/8 on the board, on the back of Shan Masood's 39-run inning. Mohammad Wasim also added 26 runs, keeping up his rich vein of form.

But the Pakistani bowlers were taken to the cleaners, as Harry Brook (45 off 24), and Sam Curran (33 off 14) helped the Three Lions to a thumping win.
