T20 World Cup 2022: Top 10 funny memes as Pakistan fans blame umpires and Virat Kohli for Bangladesh's close defeat against India

Team India beat Bangladesh by five runs in a T20 World Cup Super 12 contest in Adelaide on Wednesday, November 2. Virat Kohli starred with the bat for the Men in Blue, scoring a magnificent half-century (64* off 44) and bagging another Player of the Match award in the tournament.

Bangladesh captain Shakib Al Hasan won the toss and invited the opponents to bat first. The Men in Blue managed to set a target of 185 ahead of Bangladesh in the crucial game. Apart from Kohli, KL Rahul also chipped in with an aggressive 50 and announced his return to form after a couple of failures.

Litton Das (60 off 27 balls) put his side well on course in the chase with a blistering knock in the powerplay. The rain made an unwelcome appearance after seven overs, forcing officials to halt the proceedings. Bangladesh were 17 runs ahead of their opponents at that stage.

After the resumption, the Tigers needed to chase 151 in 16 overs, according to the Duckworth Lewis (DLS) method. They lost wickets in a heap after that and eventually fell six runs short of the revised target.

Pakistan fans react after India narrowly beat Bangladesh in Adelaide

Soon after the conclusion of the match, Pakistan cricket fans took to social media to vent their frustration against the umpires and Kohli. They accused the umpires of being biased towards India and trolled the former Indian skipper for allegedly bullying them into awarding wides and no balls.

The umpires also faced the wrath of the fans for restarting the game on a wet outfield, which according to some, inconvenienced the Bangladesh batters.

Here are some of the memes on the matter:
