AUS vs PAK: After Pakistan's stunning batting collapse in the opening T20I against Australia, fans flooded social media with a wave of reactions, turning their disappointment into a meme fest.

Set with the task of chasing 94 runs in a rain-curtailed match, Pakistan's batting lineup crumbled against Australia's relatively new bowling attack, losing by 29 runs and sending fans into disbelief.

One fan couldn't help but point out Pakistan's inconsistency, posting, "Pakistan team batting back to usual self: 👍🥹." This summed up the sentiment of many, especially given the excitement around Pakistan's recent form and anticipation for a confident start in the T20I series.

The choice of bowlers on Australia's side only added to the mockery online, as they were missing several star players. An Afghanistan fan highlighted this in a tweet that read, "This humiliation came against school bowlers like - Spencer Johnson, Xavier Bartlett, Nathan Ellis, and Adam Zampa. What a day in cricket history 😍😍🤣🤣."

With Australia missing experienced players like Mitchell Starc, Pat Cummins, and Josh Hazlewood, the performance left fans questioning Pakistan's ability to handle pressure, even against a second-string bowling lineup.

For some Indian fans, the result was an opportunity to respond to past exchanges with Pakistani fans. One user tweeted, "Shameful performance by #Pakistan. 9 Wickets down in 7 ovs - that's worse than gully cricket. #BabarAzam fans and #CT25 Pakistani fans crying about India, better mind your own business and take this tissue to cry more."

Among Pakistani fans, some lamented the lack of firepower in the batting lineup, noting that Australia has players like Glenn Maxwell to turn games around. "Pakistan is desperately missing proper hard-hitting batsmen like Maxwell. I still think Asif Ali should be in Pakistan T20I squad," shared one hopeful fan, advocating for a more aggressive approach in the batting order.

The absence of established Australian stars like Steve Smith, Travis Head, and Mitch Marsh seemed to magnify the disappointment for Pakistan supporters. One user captured the frustration, listing the missing Australian players and concluding, "This defeat really hurts as a Pakistan cricket fan 🇵🇰💔."

With the second T20I set for November 16 in Sydney, Pakistan will need to regroup and improve their performance to stay competitive in the three-match series.
