“Even in 2011 ODI world cup South Africa didn’t qualified for Semi-final and Pakistan qualified.”, Twitter reacts as South Africa all but gets knocked out of T20 World Cup

There were a lot of expectations from South Africa in the T20 World Cup. The team had a stunning squad and it was expected that they would go close to the trophy. However, after their loss to the Netherlands, it seems that their World Cup journey is over. Here, we take a look at how Twitter reacted as South Africa all but gets knocked out of the T20 World Cup.

South Africa is almost out of the T20 World Cup

The Proteas just needed a win over the Netherlands to seal a spot in the semis. A few games ago, the team managed to defeat India, one of the strongest teams in the competition. However, cut to the final day of the Super 12 stage, South Africa yet again disappointed under pressure, that too, against a lesser established cricketing nation.

The team can now be saved only by the rain gods. Pakistan vs Bangladesh game is officially a knockout and unless the match ends without a result, South Africa will have to pack their bags. A lot will change with respect to the South African cricket after this disappointment. Firstly, they might drop Temba Bavuma from the squad as he was poor throughout. Some hard calls could also be taken about the middle order.

Twitter reacts to yet another disappointing show by South Africa under pressure

Meanwhile, Twitter reacted in both extremes to this performance of South Africa. While one section sympathized with the Proteas, many users trolled South Africa for their routine flop show in pressure encounters. With South Africa losing the match, Pakistan and Bangladesh have been given an excellent chance. They just need to hold their nerves and win the game. A few days ago, this was never seen in the list of possibilities. Well, that is how this T20 World Cup has been.
