Dirty abuses to the captain’s wife and child… Salman Aga’s wife in fear and terror, said – You will not be able to win the World Cup like this.

Lahore. After Pakistan’s defeat to England in the Super Eight match of the T20 World Cup, angry cricket fans have posted threatening messages to the family of captain Salman Aga. Salman’s wife Sabe wrote on Instagram that Pakistan will not be able to win the T20 World Cup by abusing and threatening her or their son. Pakistan lost by two wickets in the match played in Pallekele, Sri Lanka on Tuesday, after which the fans also abused other players of the team.

Some former players have strongly condemned such behavior of fans. Former captain Moeen Khan recalled similar experiences during Pakistan’s defeat in the 1999 World Cup final. He said, ‘This is absolutely wrong and the cyber crime department should investigate these threatening posts and punish the culprits.’

Pakistani cricket fans often become very emotional when the team loses in any major ICC tournament. When Pakistan lost to India in the quarter-finals of the World Cup in 1996, fans attacked the houses of some players including the then captain Wasim Akram.

With captain Harry Brook’s career-best 100-run inning in T20 International, England secured their place in the semi-finals by defeating Pakistan by two wickets with five balls to spare in a thrilling match. Sahibzada Farhan, who was in excellent form, scored a competitive score of 164 runs for nine wickets with the innings of 63 runs in 45 balls. ‘Player of the Match’ Brook hit 10 fours and four sixes in 51 balls. With his first century in T20 International, England registered a thrilling victory by scoring 166 runs for eight wickets with five balls remaining.
