Internationally renowned singer Ali Zafar has taken to the social media platform X to express his sarcasm about Pakistan’s performance in the ICC World Cup. In a tongue-in-cheek message, Zafar offered mock congratulations to the national team ahead of their match against South Africa on October 27, stating, “Congratulations Pakistan on your victory against South Africa on Friday.”
Zafar’s tweet generated various responses on social media, with many users considering his optimism premature. One user asked, “Are you still in disbelief?” while another remarked, “Ali Zafar is ahead of his time.”
Pakistan has played five group matches in the tournament, winning two and losing three. Currently, they hold the fifth position on the points table with 4 points.
To achieve the maximum possible point total of 12, Pakistan has four remaining matches. The national team is scheduled to play against South Africa on October 27, Bangladesh on October 31, New Zealand on November 4, and England on November 11.
