Peshawar Zalmi lost to the Islamabad United last night, and while some are a little upset at the loss, most of Pakistan has taken it upon themselves to troll Zalmi fans.
Because that is after all what we do best…we troll. We like to troll.
While the Zalmis posted a heartwarming congratulatory tweet and accepted the defeat admirably…
AND IT'S OVER!
Islamabad United won by 7 wickets (with 2 balls remaining). What a game. Congratulations @IsbUnited! #IUvPZ #PSL2017— PeshawarZalmi (@PeshawarZalmi) February 9, 2017
The Islamabadi “Lions” tweeted the way we expect lions to…

Some Zalmi fans tried a little too hard to feel good about themselves
Peshawar Zalmi is a Team that wins hearts. We did not want to make burgers cry at the opening of PSL that's why we gave them smiles :')

At least Hamza Ali Abbasi went to bed with a smile on his face with his usual bout of patriotism.

The match was certainly a nice entertaining opener to the second edition of the Pakistan Super League. Also, since it’s just the first one, you can also forgive the team for not exactly being warmed up for a win. Better luck next time, team Zalmi. And to Islamabad United, congratulations guys, hope you can keep up this performance for the rest of the tournament.
Oh, and fans of United: so jao bacho, it’s bed time 😛
