Twitter reacts: Pakistan stun England by 14 runs in World Cup 2019
Pakistan defeated England by 14 runs to register their maiden victory of the ongoing ICC Cricket World Cup 2019 tournament.
The visitors scored 348 for eight which was second-highest score at a World Cup. If overhauled, would have set a new record for the highest successful chase yet it was insurmountable for England.
Here’s how Twitter reacted to visitors’ emphatic win over favourites England.
Lose 4 nil to the Worlds No1 team coming into the World Cup. Get demolished by a team that had to qualify for the CWC in your 1st game. Lose your last 11 completed ODI’s. Take down the No 1 ranked team next game. Never write off Pakistan👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻.

If anything, this World Cup has defied predictions so far. And it's properly alive now. And the subcontinent is back in the business. And trust Pakistan to go to sublime from ridiculous #PAKvENG

You lose 11 games in a row. Then you are out for 105 against a team that hasn't won a series for four years. Then you rack up 348 against the world's best team and beat them in their den. Pakistan's cricket is a slap in the face of logic. #CWC19

Fantastic win for Pakistan, England losing in a run chase at home after nearly 4 years. Pakistan have showed a lot of character after the humiliating loss against West Indies. Wahab and Amir were really good in the end . #ENGvPAK

Just landed and see what a staggering performance Pakistan have put up. I told you, with Pakistan, yesterday has no connection to today, today none to tomorrow.
