Pakistan cricket team fans found solace in humour following last night's thrilling semi-final between Pakistan and Australia in Dubai that Pakistan could not win. They expressed pride in the team’s performance throughout the world cup as well as sadness at the nail-biting loss to Australia on Thursday night.

A majority of the fans commended the team for its efforts and some used humour as a coping mechanism. While the crucial catch dropped by Hassan Ali in the penultimate over disappointed the fans, some extended support to him, with witty responses.
