PAK vs ENG: Pakistan fan's hilarious reaction after Saim Ayub dismissal goes viral - Watch

NEW DELHI: A hilarious moment from Pakistan’s match against England in the T20 World Cup went viral after a fan’s shocked reaction was caught on camera when opener Saim Ayub got out early at the Pallekele International Cricket Stadium on Tuesday.

Ayub was dismissed by Jofra Archer for just 7 runs, caught while trying to pull a fast short ball. Archer embraced the occasion with a unique celebration.



A few seconds later, the camera caught a Pakistani fan’s disappointed and stunned expression, which quickly became a hit on social media.

Watch the fan's reaction to the dismissal:



In the match, Pakistan chose to bat first on a good pitch but struggled to score quickly as England kept taking wickets at regular intervals.

Sahibzada Farhan was the standout batter, scoring 63 off 45 balls with several boundaries. He added a 46-run partnership with Babar Azam, but England’s bowlers kept things under control.

Babar Azam had another slow innings, making 25 off 24 balls before being bowled by Jamie Overton. Spinner Liam Dawson was the pick of the bowlers, taking three wickets for 24 runs, while Archer and Overton also took two wickets each.

Fakhar Zaman added a quick 25 off 16 balls, and Shadab Khan stayed unbeaten on 23, helping Pakistan reach 164/9 by the end of their innings. However, Pakistan never really accelerated, and England’s disciplined bowling kept them under pressure throughout.
