With group stage matches done and dusted, International Cricket Council (ICC) started a poll on Twitter. ICC asked their followers about which two teams will reach the Women’s World T20 2018 final. Out of the four possibilities, the most voted expected outcome was a Windies vs India final.
The four teams who made the semi-final of the ongoing tournament are Australia, England, India and Windies. Pakistan were in the Group B and could only manage to win one game, that too against Ireland.
Here’s the pole ICC started:
Who do you think will contest the @WorldT20 Final? #WT20

Now here is the thing, Pakistan cricket fans seemed unaware that there is a Women’s World T20 going on. They thought that ICC will intentionally leave out men’s no.1 ranked team in the world out of the poll.
Here are a few tweets that would sum up the whole episode:
Where is Pakistan.

Dear Pakistaniyo,

Seriously guys, we know that Pakistan men’s team is on a winning spree and ranked first in T20s but a little attention to women’s cricket wouldn’t hurt anyone.
