Prominent writer, satirist and host, Anwar Maqsood, revealed a unique reason for Pakistan’s shocking defeat at the hands of America in the T20 World Cup, saying it must be an International Monetary Fund (IMF) condition.<\/p>\n

In yesterday’s T20 World Cup 2024 match at the Grand Prairie Stadium in Dallas, the tournament witnessed a major upset as the United States (US) defeated Pakistan, shocking fans in Pakistan who are now expressing their anger and frustration at the dismal performance.<\/p>\n

Maqsood’s video is going viral on social media in which he is asked what he would say about losing to the US. The writer said that Pakistan had no choice but to lose to America because we need a loan from the IMF, which we haven’t received yet.<\/p>\n

He quipped that the IMF must have put a condition on Pakistan to lose against America in the match to receive a new package. Apart from this, he couldn’t think of any other reason for the defeat. He further commented that those who have bought the tickets for the upcoming Pakistan-India match on Sunday will now sell them at half the price.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, humorous memes about the national team are circulating on social media, and notable personalities from the entertainment industry are also offering interesting reactions to Pakistan’s loss.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
