Pakistan defeated India in the ICC World Cup competition, which is unusual but nevertheless happened. The men in blue were beaten by Babar Azam’s Pakistani cricket squad by 10 wickets in their T20 World Cup opener in Dubai last year in October 2021. The team’s fans in Pakistan went wild in celebration of the much-awaited triumph against India after years.
Karachi on the night of victory witnessed crazy car-honking on each and every road. The excited crowd had set off fire archers at all the places that had big screens on the match night, which ended up injuring over 20 people in the city. The celebration rapidly got out of control, and the police in certain areas of Karachi had to resort to aerial firing.
For Pakistani fans, the 2021 World Cup event was really special and unique since something that had never happened before was witnessed during that match. In the 12 games before this match, Pakistan had never been successful in defeating India in a World Cup game.
Since the inaugural match in 1992, India have dominated the 50-over and 20-over World Cup competitions with seven and five victories, respectively. With a 10-wicket victory over India in World Cup cricket in Dubai, Pakistan made it a fortunate and favorable event; skipper Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan both registered flawless fifty-sevens.
The streets of Karachi were empty during the match, but the moment Pakistan defeated India for the first time in the World Cup tournament after so many attempts, people occupied the streets and celebrated wildly. During the game, Karachi’s streets were deserted, but as soon as Pakistan defeated India for the first time in the World Cup event after so many tries, the streets filled with people who were seen jubilantly celebrating. Moments after the victory, in the video that went viral, people in Karachi could hear the fans cheering loudly from their apartment buildings.
In another celebration video that went viral, a pregnant woman could be seen dancing on the road in front of a car with her husband. When questioned about her joy after Pakistan’s historic triumph over India in the ICC World Cup, the pregnant woman mentioned,
“Although it’s just the beginning of the tournament, I’m really happy about the fact that Pakistan has finally been able to come out victorious against India in the World Cup match, I have been waiting for this moment since my childhood, and I’m really happy that it finally came,”
If Pakistan wins the forthcoming ICC World Cup 2022, they will undoubtedly go nuts with enthusiasm after wildly honking their cars in the streets of Karachi and lighting large firecrackers in public areas that injured hundreds of spectators.
