Watch: Pakistan media reaction after their team's loss to India in IND vs PAK T20 World Cup 2026 clash

Pakistan lost their blockbuster clash with arch-rivals India on Sunday by 61 runs, being bowled out for 114 in Colombo.

With this win, India advanced to the Super Eights. Pakistan will now have to beat Namibia in their last group-stage match on February 18 to qualify for the next round.

After the match, criticism of the national team’s performance flooded social media, coming from former players and cricketing icons. Media outlets in Pakistan highlighted the batting collapse, criticized the top order, and questioned the team’s strategy. Analysts said even experienced players like Babar Azam and Shadab Khan could not perform under pressure, while Usman Khan’s efforts received little support from the rest of the team.

Pakistan Cricket Legends Criticize Team After Loss to India

Former Pakistan player and commentator Ramiz Raja called the match “a bit of a disaster — especially batting.”

“India have been fielding the same bowling attack against Pakistan for the last two or three years, and every time the batsmen have been woefully ordinary,” he said in a post on X, adding that there was no growth.

Meanwhile, former Pakistan captain Mohammad Yousuf criticized Shaheen Shah Afridi, Babar Azam, and Shadab Khan, saying that “time’s up” for them. “Pakistan’s T20 squad needs new performers, not empty wins against weaker sides,” he added.

Former opener Ahmed Shahzad called Pakistan’s performance “pathetic cricket” and said it was the “sad story of Pakistan cricket. Same old faces, same old results. Please don’t fool the nation anymore.”
