The ICC Men’s T20 World Cup is a Twenty20 International cricket tournament held every two years. The competition, which is organised by cricket’s governing body, the International Cricket Council (ICC), presently has 16 teams, with the top ten teams from the rankings at the time of the deadline and six additional teams selected through the T20 World Cup Qualifier. All of the matches are Twenty20 Internationals.
The semi-final of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2021 was played today in Dubai between Pakistan and Australia. In the first innings, Pakistan scored 176/4 in 20 overs. Australia won the match by scoring 177/5 in 19 overs to overcome Pakistan and go to the T20 WorldCup final.
Following the match’s loss, Pakistani celebrities took to social media to express their feelings over Hassan Ali’s performance and the loss.
Hassan Ali was also chastised by some celebrities, who eventually deleted their posts.
Hassan had a bad day. Let’s not cross a line in criticism… let’s be better than the neighbors.. let’s not do what they did to Shami.. WE ARE BETTER

Please remember that Hassan Ali, a human, dropped a difficult catch during a difficult moment. No Pakistani is feeling as bad as he is. The team got as far as they did due to camaraderie and support, let’s follow their example and be kind to them all, including & especially him.
