Former India cricketers Irfan Pathan and Munaf Patel hilariously roasted Pakistan on social media after the Men in Green were knocked out of the ongoing ICC T20 World Cup 2026. New Zealand became the second team after England to qualify for the semifinals from Super 8 Group 2, despite Pakistan winning their final match against Sri Lanka.
Pakistan defeated Sri Lanka by just five runs on Saturday, February 28, but it was not enough to keep them in the semifinal race. The Salman Agha-led side needed to win the match by at least 65 runs to improve their net run rate ahead of New Zealand's. Both the semifinals and the final will be played in India.
As soon as it became mathematically impossible for Pakistan to qualify, Munaf Patel posted a photo from the match with the caption, “Chalo bhai, it’s official now that Pakistan is out… Khatam, ta ta, bye bye, gaya.”

"Won’t even bother to ask THE QUESTION. Cos it’s doesn’t matter to us," Pathan wrote.

— Irfan Pathan (@IrfanPathan) February 28, 2026It is the second consecutive time Pakistan have failed to reach the T20 World Cup semifinals after crashing out in the group stage in 2024. While India remain in the hunt as defending champions, Pakistan will have to return home.
Pakistan’s Declining Performance in ICC Events Since 2020
Pakistan’s performances in major ICC tournaments have declined over the past few years. The team reached the knockout stages in 2021 and 2022, making the semifinals and finals in those editions. The Men in Green lost to Australia in the T20 World Cup 2021 semifinal and were defeated by England in the 2022 final.
Since then, Pakistan have struggled to progress, failing to move past the group stages in the 2023 ODI World Cup, the 2024 T20 World Cup, and the 2025 Champions Trophy.
The struggles continued in 2026, with Pakistan exiting in the Super 8 stage and falling short of the semifinals. The semifinals are scheduled to be played in Kolkata and Mumbai on March 4 and 5, while the final will take place in Ahmedabad on March 8.
All Eyes on India and West Indies in Final Super 8 Clash
With Pakistan officially out, all eyes are now on the defending champions, India. They will face the West Indies at Eden Gardens in Kolkata on Sunday, March 1. The match is a virtual quarterfinal, and the winner will claim the final semifinal spot to face England next week.
The Suryakumar Yadav-led side had a tough start to the Super 8s, losing to South Africa by 76 runs, but they bounced back with an emphatic 72-run win over Zimbabwe.
The West Indies, on the other hand, began their Super 8 campaign with a 107-run win over Zimbabwe before suffering a nine-wicket defeat to South Africa. Both teams currently have two points, and the Eden Gardens pitch is expected to favour big hitters.
