KARACHI: If there is one thing the Pakistan cricket team has taught is, it is that as long as they are playing, the game is not for the faint hearted. The Asia Cup 2022 has been a wild ride for Pakistanis especially when we had to face India on the field for two consecutive Sundays. We thought the worst was over and we would have a relatively relaxed match against Afghanistan but no. The Pakistan vs Afghanistan match came down to the last few balls and we are not okay! And neither is Pakistani social media who went wild after the win! Here are some of our favorite reactions to the Pakistan vs Afghanistan match.
The real behind the scenes:
We could not believe our eyes when the Pakistan vs Afghanistan match came down to the last batsman! But we did not know what Babar Azam’s grand plan was!

Good morning from everyone other than Afghanistan and India:
I said hello to my Indian colleague with a smile, 20 minutes later my manager came and said “keep your cricket out of the office Asim” 😭
Bruh I said nothing 😭😭😭😂😂— Asim (@Alifbayjem) September 7, 2022

The concern and support for Babar Azam:
The real reason why Babar Azam was unable to perform this tournament:

Asif Ali the boxer:
As a cricket fan I am totally against this act.

We have managed to survive Pakistan vs India and Pakistan vs Afghanistan, but will we be able to make it through the final with our sanity intact? We can only wait and see!
