New Zealand lost to England, making Pakistanis upset and the sadma is hella real, as seen through memes.
The points table for the World Cup 2019 has so far been really complex. Pakistan’s qualification to the semis was heavily dependent upon either India’s or New Zealand’s win in their matches against England. And after the Indian cricket team lost the match to England, Pakistanis were all supporting New Zealand for today’s match. So much for that.
In order to ensure that Pakistan qualified for the semis, it was really important for England to lose this match
So before the match, Pakistan sat at spot number 5. If England lost today’s match and Pakistan would have been able to win its match against Bangladesh then Pakistan could have successfully acquired spot number 4. But, things did not go as expected and England won the match.
Since the start of today’s match, all the fans of Team Green were glued to their television screens

Even towards the end of the match, Pakistanis were hoping to see New Zealand win this game for them
The fact that I’m still watching this match shows that I have some hope NZ will do this… 🤫😭

During the last overs of the match, supporters could actually see that New Zealand for just playing to ensure that their net run-rate does not gets affected
NZ just playing for his NRR not for WINNING the match

A few even blamed New Zealand for losing voluntarily
Ok.. i thought India graciously offered England the win, but no. NZ gave England the match and india played to potential. #ENGvNZ

Why is NZ losing deliberately?#ENGvsNZ

Team Green supporters stated that they wanted New Zealand to play ‘for’ Pakistan and not ‘like’ Pakistan
Dear NZ
You were expected to play '' FOR '' Pakistan, not '' LIKE '' Pakistan.#EngVsNZ#CWC2019— Zamin Abbas (@ZaminAb73271321) July 3, 2019
They pointed out that ‘1992 main bhe aisa hua tha‘ wali theories will finally end too
Aur sab se ghatiya wo insaan hai jis ne 1992 wali baat nikaali thi bc team haarti rahi aur hum ullu ke pathay umeedain lagatay rahay ke 92 mai bhi yehi hua tha

It looks like the end of "1992 main bhi aisa hua tha" 😂😋#NZvENG #ENGvsNZ #CWC19

People said that it’s really frustrating to see that teams who lost their matches against Team Green are deciding the fate of the Pakistani cricket team
They mentioned that it’s going to be a sad day. They surely did not want their World Cup dream to die this early.
I dont want our worldcup dream to be over just yet, that too decided by two teams that we defeated. I am going to be crying in some corner tonight, its a sad sad day.
— nma (@namaloomafraaad) July 3, 2019
People also came up with some more impossible scenarios
Someone said that pakistan can still get into the semifinals if they beat bangladesh by 500 runs and bowl them all out at 50 .. I- #EngvNZ 😂😭😂😭😭 pic.twitter.com/Y6JQpqZN82

Sadly, the journey of World Cup 2019 has most likely ended for Pakistan and fans have stated that gham hour tonight is going to be extremely painful
England has won the toss. Pakistan is almost out of the worldcup. The gham hour tonight is going to be so painful.
