Pakistani Twitter erupts in self-deprecating humour as their cricket team stares at imminent defeat

Pakistan PM Imran Khan looking sad.

India v Pakistan cricket team is one of the most exciting clashes even for non-cricket fans. India has faced Pakistan 6 times in the Cricket World Cup and won every single time. Today’s match against Pakistan was also one of the most awaited ones as Indian fans looked at registering a seventh win and Pakistani fans hoped to break the jinx and win against India for the first time.

However, as it is almost certain that the Indian Cricket team will continue its winning streak against its archnemesis on the field, Pakistani Twitter erupted into hilarious self-deprecating jokes.

Considering the rains have spoilt quite a few matches in this World Cup, these prayers seemed just legit.

‘Dolphin Police Force’ is apparently an ‘elite’ security unit of Punjab Police which was launched to ‘fight street crime’. Parody nation Pakistan has an elite security force to fight street crime.

India has given Pakistan a chasing target of 337 runs to win. Meanwhile, the play is currently suspended due to rain and Pakistan is at 166 at a loss of 6 wickets in 35 overs. Pakistan needs 177 runs to win in 90 balls.

Drawing inspiration from an eminent personality, Pakistan has lagbhag lost the game.

Update @ 11:40 pm: The match has resumed and Pakistan needs to score 136 runs from the remaining 30 deliveries.

Update @ 11:57 pm: India wins against Pakistan in the Cricket World Cup match. India continues the streak.
