The Men in Green became the first team to get eliminated from the tournament. It has come as a massive embarrassment for the nation as they were the defending champions and the hosts. Pakistan first lost to New Zealand and then went onto get thrashed by India in Dubai. Finally, Pakistan, who would have thought of signing the tournament off with a win over Bangladesh , that too did not happen. The match between Pakistan and Bangladesh was called off due to rain. Both teams had to share a point each. As per reports, a lot of changes in the cricket team and the PCB is expected. There have been whispers suggesting that Babar Azam 's future is in doubt.
