Fans on Twitter lashed out at Pakistani cricketers Mohammad Rizwan and Iftikhar Ahmed for their poor performance in the final of the T20 World Cup 2022 against England. They said that teams shouldn’t pick cricketers who choke in pressure games and they should bring young players and back them.
England defeats Pakistan by 5 wickets to claim the T20 World Cup 2022
England cricket team thumped Pakistan by 5 wickets to lift the T20 World Cup 2022 trophy. The Jos Buttler-led side displayed a magnificent performance with both bat as well as the ball to lift the trophy for the second time.
Pakistan on the other hand displayed a poor performance with the bat and it’s fair to say that they succumbed to the pressure. Mohammad Rizwan, who opened the innings, found it really hard to get going and managed only 15 runs in 14 balls. He batted with a strike rate of 107.14.
After that Babar Azam (32) and Shan Masood (38) played good innings but failed to convert the start they got. Many then expected Iftikhar Ahmed to set the stage on fire but he also succumbed to pressure. He registered a 6-ball duck as Pakistan could manage just 138 runs.
Even though they displayed a staggering performance with the ball, but the target for two was low for the bowlers to defend as Ben Stokes smashed a fifty to seal the match for his side. Pakistan managed to take 5 wickets with Haris Rauf being the pick of the bowlers with 2/23 to his name.
Fans on Twitter lash out at Mohammad Rizwan and Iftikhar Ahmed for costing Pakistan T20 World Cup 2022
As Pakistan suffered a 5-wicket defeat in the final of the T20 World Cup 2022, fans on Twitter lashed out at Pakistani cricketers Mohammad Rizwan and Iftikhar Ahmed for their poor performance. Calling them chokers, they said that youngsters should be given opportunities. Here are some of the reactions:
After costing us the Asia Cup final, today Rizwan and Iftikhar cost us the World Cup final. We shouldn’t pick cricketers who choke in pressure games. May be harsh but this should be the last white ball game for both. Back young players instead.

Please sack babar from t20 captaincy otherwise he wont leave the opening position . Dont know why he is so obsessed with his position . If you cant utilise the PP properly then you are nothing more than a selfish player . We dont want a 10 wicket win instead we want a trophy.

Don't think Rizwan deserves to be dropped but the openers need to be split.
AdvertisementRizwan and Haris should open with Babar at 3. Shan at 4 with Iftikhar dropping out the squad. Shadab plays as floating. Nawaz also should have his position examined. He isn't as reliable with the bat.

Our batting costs us this world cup. This is how you bat in the final against England and expect miracles to happen? Bowlers gave 200% but with this kinda batting you can't win any big tournament. Period.

Exactly. Sake Babar from captaincy, make Shadab captain. Babar doesn't deserve it, he has zero game awareness.

Tuk tuk rizwan
Worst opening
Worst keeping cost extra 9 runsAdvertisement— Mohammad faiz (@faizzzzz786) November 13, 2022
No place for @IftiAhmed221 in team.
Only 2 can play from rizwan, shaun n babar, although it's a tough call. Need more attacking players at the top. U can't score 60 in 1st 10 and ask lower order to score 100 every game. Especially it gets harder in finalsAdvertisement— mian muneeb shah (@mmuneebshah00) November 13, 2022
Why don't you blame Shan Masood, Haris, Nawaz and Shadab… Overall Rizwan had performed better than them in past games.
