Shadab Khan\'s T20 World Cup campaign ends with a duck against Ireland; fans demand his axing

Pakistan all-rounder Shadab Khan ended his T20 World Cup 2024 campaign with a duck against Ireland in Fort Lauderhill, Florida.

Pakistan all-rounder Shadab Khan had a forgetful outing in the T20 World Cup 2024, failing to contribute significantly with either bat or ball.

The 25-year-old ended his tournament campaign with a duck against Ireland in Fort Lauderhill, Florida, leaving fans unimpressed given his lack of impact despite being handed multiple chances.

In three innings at the World Cup, Shadab managed to score only 44 runs. The bulk of these came in Pakistan's match against the USA, where he scored 40 off 25 balls. He also made four runs against India.

In his primary role as a bowler, Shadab did not bowl in Pakistan's matches against India and Canada. He bowled one over against Ireland, conceding 11 runs.

Fans have expressed their frustration with Shadab's performances, suggesting that he should return to domestic cricket to regain his form. They also called for Usama Mir and Abrar Ahmed to be given opportunities in the national team.

However, Pakistan managed to defeat Ireland by three wickets in their final match of the tournament.

The low-scoring encounter was decided in the second last over, with Shaheen Afridi hitting a six to guide Pakistan to victory.

Chasing the 107-run target, Pakistan had a decent start but lost wickets quickly. Saim Ayub (17 off 17) and Mohammad Rizwan (17 off 16) were dismissed within the first six overs.

Pakistan's middle-order struggled again, with Fakhar Zaman (5), Usman Khan (2), Shadab Khan (0), and Imad Wasim (4) failing to reach double figures.

Abbas Afridi provided a late spark with a 17-run innings, including a six and a four, helping Babar Azam's side inch closer to the target.

Babar top-scored for the winning team with 32 runs.

Earlier, Pakistan's bowlers dominated the first innings, led by Shaheen Afridi, Mohammad Amir, and Imad Wasim, who restricted Ireland to 106/9.
