Did Babar Azam & Co. cry and skip dinner after defeat to India in T20 World Cup 2024?

After their victory over Canada in the ongoing T20 World Cup 2024, the Pakistan team has somewhat regained their composure. Realizing that their fate is no longer entirely in their own hands, the players have adopted a more relaxed attitude. According to sources, Head Coach Gary Kirsten held individual meetings with some players yesterday to discuss strategy. He stressed that the past cannot be changed and urged them to focus all their attention on the upcoming match against Ireland.

Contrary to rumors, team sources have denied reports that Babar Azam and other players were in tears and skipped dinner after the defeat by India. While the players were undoubtedly disappointed, there was no atmosphere of mourning with everyone crying. Only Naseem Shah was emotional after the match. Such stories are allegedly spread by the players' social media teams to enhance their image and mislead the public.

Upon arriving in Florida on Tuesday, the Pakistani cricketers were greeted by rain, which continued into Wednesday. No practice sessions were scheduled for these days. The team plans to practice on Thursday, weather permitting. However, the forecast for the week predicts more rain, potentially forcing the players to prepare for an early return home. The match between Sri Lanka and Nepal on Tuesday was also canceled due to rain.

If rain continues in Florida, it could affect Pakistan's hopes, especially in the USA vs. Ireland match on June 14, which has a 91% chance of rain. Pakistan needs Ireland to win; otherwise, if the match is washed out, the USA will earn a point and secure qualification, eliminating Pakistan.
