"Humiliation": Memes Fest Reveal Pakistan's 9-Wicket Loss to New Zealand in the First Twenty20 International
New Zealand chased down the target with nine wickets remaining in the first Twenty20 International, while Pakistan managed just 91 runs on the board.

New Zealand defeated the Salman Agha-led team by a commanding 9 wickets with nearly half of the overs remaining, embarrassing Pakistan once more on the international cricket scene. It took just 61 balls for New Zealand to reach the target after Pakistan was bowled out for a pitiful 91 runs.
The series premiere of Pakistan's horror show at Christchurch took place on Sunday. Social media went into a frenzy as fans unleashed memes in response to Pakistan being destroyed on the global scene once more.
The captain of Pakistan, Agha, acknowledged that his team didn't perform well in the match, but he didn't give up as a youthful group of players attempted to rise to the occasion in New Zealand.
We didn't meet expectations, so it was challenging, but we must regroup (before Dunedin). They bowled really well, with some seam movement in some excellent spots. We will take a seat, talk, and plan the upcoming game. The more games they play, the more they will learn; we had three debutants. "We have good bowlers; the new ball does a bit in New Zealand, and we'll look to do well in the next match," he stated following the game.

Oh, come on, ICC! Giving New Zealand unfair tage while making Pakistan travel 1300+ km? No wonder they could only muster 91 runs and lost by 9 wickets. Clearly, it wasn’t a batting disaster..it was just extreme jet lag!????#NZvPAK pic.twitter.com/0lKitxFC46
