Pakistan’s ongoing struggles in the ICC World Cup prompted the internationally acclaimed singer Ali Zafar to express his sarcasm towards the national team.
He took to the social media platform X (formerly Twitter) to post a tongue-in-cheek message, offering mock congratulations to the national team ahead of their match against South Africa on October 27. In his post, the singer said, “Congratulations Pakistan on your victory against South Africa on Friday. “

Zafar’s tweet garnered numerous responses from social media users who believed the singer was being prematurely optimistic.
“Are you still in disbelief?” one user asked Ali Zafar.
