With every loss…Pakistanis remember jack of all trades Mohsin Naqvi.
Captain Harry Brook’s explosive century helped England edge past Pakistan by two wickets in a thrilling T20 World Cup Super Eight clash at the Pallekele International Cricket Stadium on Tuesday.
Yet another goofy decision by @TheRealPCB picked @SalmanAliAgha1

Is the Green Shirts’ semi-finalhopes are over?
Pakistan posted a below-par total of 164-9, thanks to an in-form Sahibzada Farhan’s half-century, after yet another batting collapse. England struggled in their chase early on, following a fiery spell from Shaheen Shah Afridi, but Brook stood firm and single-handedly guided his side to victory with a maiden T20I century, securing England’s place in the semi-finals.
England’s chase got off to the worst possible start as in-form Phil Salt fell on the very first ball. Brook made 100 against 50 balls and won the match.
On the other side, the spinless captaincy of Salman Ali Agha, who has a big parchi of parchi PCB chairman, made blunderbuss decision like playing out of form Babar Azam and not using Usman Tariq.
What a pity. Pakistan team will continue to disappoint the people of Pakistanis and thanks to Mohsin Naqvi for his relentless efforts to enjoy VVIP protocol and else and destroying the Pakistan cricket
