The World Cup 2023 is already about to wrap up the group stage. The semifinal stage is coming close. Three teams India, South Africa, and Australia confirmed their place in the semifinal stage. New Zealand is just 1 step away. After yesterday’s win, New Zealand’s semifinal hope came closer. With that win ended Pakistan’s qualifying hope. Former Indian batter Virender Sehwag takes a sarcastic dig at Pakistan for missing the semifinal stage. That post went viral.
Pakistan is Almost out of the Tournament:
New Zealand registered a 5-wicket win last night against Sri Lanka, ending Pakistan’s semifinal hope. The same thing happened with Afghanistan also. After finalizing three semifinalists, the fourth spot was empty. New Zealand, Pakistan, and Afghanistan were in the war to reach the semifinals. But the men in green and Afghans are not heartbroken as they are out of the tournament.
There are some impossible scenarios for Pakistan to qualify for the semifinal. Pakistan will lock horns with England at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata. There are some impossible chances are there for them. Against England, if they bat first and score over 300 then they have to restrict the opponent to 13 runs. If they bowl first and make England all-out on at least 100 runs then they have to chase it down in 2.5 overs. That is just impossible. So, they will say goodbye to this tournament after playing against England.
Virender Sehwag on Pakistan:
Pakistan will end their journey of this edition of the World Cup in the group stage. New Zealand ended their semifinal hope after yesterday’s win against Sri Lanka. The Kiwis won the match against Sri Lanka very easily. They chased the target in 23.2 overs. That win boosted their run rate to +0.743. That was a huge comeback. But that win finished Afghanistan and Pakistan’s World Cup journey.
After the elimination of Pakistan, former Indian star Virender Sehwag made a hilarious post on his social media handle which went viral. Sehwag is known for his witty sense of humor. This time he also used it correctly. On his social media handle, he posted a picture called ‘Bye Bye Pakistan’. After that he captioned it as “Pakistan Zindabhaag! Bas yahin tak tha jo tha. Hope you enjoyed the biriyani and the hospitality. Have a safe flight back home. Bye Bye Pakistan.” fans are going crazy over it.
