A disappointed Pakistan fan has filed a petition to ban Pakistan national cricket team after the ignominious defeat against arch-rivals India. Pakistan team has come under scrutiny after their big loss of 89 runs by Duckworth Lewis method. In fact, the Pakistan team has been severely criticised for their poor performance.

The fans, as well as the former players, have lashed out at the team for their defeat. Pakistan was not able to put up a fight against India as they were dominated by a potent Indian side in all the three departments of the game.
