As India beat Pakistan by 61 runs in the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup fixture on Sunday, one heartbroken Pakistan fan took his frustration out on his television set. A video going viral online shows Waqar Azam smashing his television set with a cricket bat, apparently because he was angry about his team’s loss.
“India defeated Pakistan again, and I just broke my TV in frustration,” Azam captioned his Facebook video, which shows him taking a bat to his TV set inside a seemingly empty room.
Not content with hitting the TV set several times, he paused midway through the attack to turn the broken TV around and hit its screen too.

Other Pakistani fans were similarly disappointed by the results of the match.
“I think it has become a routine matter now. I was a little hopeful that we would win the match and at least give a fight. But it is like a routine matter,” a Pakistani supporter told ANI in Colombo. “We do not have answers to Bumrah. We cannot face Hardik. This is the same situation. Well played, Team India, as always. If this kind of performance continues, then we cannot beat India. The Indian team is very good, and we accept this thing.”
