VIDEO: Dejected fans blast Azam Khan's selection in team after shock defeat
Pakistan could only score 13-1 in Super Over and ended up losing match by five runs against US
Pakistan cricket fans expressed their anger after the Green Shirts faced humiliating defeat at the hands of the United States in their first T20 World Cup match on Thursday.
Speaking to Geo News after the disappointing loss, the fans lambasted the Pakistan's selection committee for selecting Azam Khan in the mega tournament.
