Pakistan PM Shehbaz Sharif takes dig at Team India after defeat in T20 World Cup semi-final

NEW DELHI: Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif on Thursday took a cheeky dig at Indian team after they suffered a crushing loss to England at the Adelaide Oval.

Pakistan PM reminded India fans of that heartbreaking defeat in his tweet where he mentioned that the final was down to the two teams England and Pakistan, who had defeated India by 10 wickets.

"So, this Sunday, it's, 152/0 vs 170/0," Sharif said in a tweet after India's loss to England.

Meanwhile, former Pakistan pacer Shoaib Akhtar also criticised Team India post their defeat.

"India did not deserve to meet us in the MCG or be allowed to take a flight to come to Melbourne because their cricket has been exposed today," Akhtar said on his YouTube channel.

"It is no big deal to reach the semifinals. Indian cricket, I think, is at the lowest right now because when it comes to ICC events, India will need to look at their captaincy, the management will need to take the blame," he added.

Akhtar targeted India's bowling as the key area of concern -- selection of Mohammed Shami in the squad, exclusion of Yuzvendra Chahal -- who the pacer believes could've been of use in the semifinal.

"All of a sudden they added Shami to the squad, he's a good fast bowler, but didn't deserve to be in the squad. I can't tell what the final XI is for India right now. I don't think India has depth in spin bowling. Chahal could've played well. He wasn't included in the lineup. If Adil Rashid can play, why not Chahal?," he said. IANS
