The India-Pakistan match in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 was a bitter fight, but India emerged victorious by six wickets. The loss for Pakistan broke their fans and disillusioned them. The response from Pakistani cricket fans has been drastic, with most calling for changes in the team.
Fans' Disappointment
When Pakistan lost the match, many fans were frustrated. Some of them were heard destroying their TV sets, and others blamed the team's poor performance on social media. In Karachi, many fans turned their backs on their TV screens and could not help but watch the last few minutes of the match.
A fan in Islamabad expressed dismay, stating, "The fielding was poor, and the players were not focused. We wanted to see an improved battle against India." Another supporter opined that the team required more training and fitness to play at the top level.

Demand for Team Changes
Most of the supporters feel that Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) must act. There have been demands for introducing new talent and enhancing team selection. Some fans have proposed that old players must be replaced with young, fresh players who can manage pressure.
A Pakistani cricket analyst commented, "The team is short on strategy and game intelligence. If they wish to be at par with top teams like India, they need to work on their skills."
