"I am biggest fan of Argentina; I think Argentina can still play the final. Because Pakistan lost to Zimbabwe and England to Ireland, they both played the final of T20 World Cup 2022," Amir said. 

It was a very tough day for Argentina fans, who witnessed their team lose to Saudi Arabia. The world's third-ranked team fell to the 51st-ranked Saudi Arabia, who had a successful start to the mega-event.

Saleh Alshehri and Salem Aldawsari scored unexpected goals to give Saudi Arabia an advantage.

In the 48th minute, Alshehri seized an opportunity to score an equalizer. Five minutes later, Aldawsari stunned with a goal from just inside the goal area.

Aldawsari executed a stunt to celebrate his goal, demonstrating its significance.
