‘Prefer money & IPL’: Pak fans troll NZ’s T20 WC exit

New Zealand’s early exit from the T20 World Cup 2024 marks the first time since 2014 that they won’t reach the semi-finals of a limited-overs World Cup. Consecutive defeats to Afghanistan and West Indies sealed their fate. Afghanistan’s win over Papua New Guinea ended New Zealand’s hopes. Pakistani media attributed their poor performance to key players’ IPL commitments over pre-tournament preparation.
