Quetta Gladiators and Sindh’s hard-hitting middle-order batsman Azam Khan has urged fans to support Pakistan team, after their shocking loss in the second T20I against Zimbabwe.

This was Zimbabwe’s first-ever victory over Pakistan, in the shortest format of the game, after losing 15 matches.  

“People need to understand that cricket is just a game, sometimes you do good and sometimes you don’t, and if you can’t support them in their bad days then you’re not a true cricket fan,” tweeted Azam.

Zimbabwe successfully defended a modest total to pull off an upset 19-run win over in-form Pakistan and level their T20I series at the Harare Sports Club on Friday.

Zimbabwe were sent into bat first, and despite a feisty 34 from Tinashe Kamunhukamwe, made only a paltry 118-9 as wickets tumbled at regular intervals.

But Pakistan, who beat South Africa 3-1 in a four-match series earlier this month, fell short in a laboured chase as they were bowled out for 99.
