KARACHI, Pakistan: Pakistani cricket fans express disappointment after their national team loses to India during the 2026 ICC Men’s T20 Cricket World Cup group stage match. Hundreds of cricket fans gather in an open field outside The Arts Council of Pakistan in Karachi to watch the match on a giant screen, live-streamed from Colombo, Sri Lanka. “As a fan, what can I say? Every time, our hopes break,” says Humna Nisar, a disappointed Pakistani fan. India routed their bitter rivals Pakistan by 61 runs on Sunday to qualify for the next round of the T20 World Cup in a showdown that had been in doubt until a few days ago.
