Fans destroy TV sets after Pakistan's second defeat
Fans also performed mock funeral by mourning around a bed of cricket bats.
"Meanwhile, at Chungi No 9 enraged cricket fans protested and vented their frustration by smashing a number of TV sets with large batons. The cricket supporters also expressed that cricketers must be selected for the squad based on merit," Dawn News reported.
"We should bury cricket. We should not think about it. We should not play it. We should only focus on our national game hockey and other games such as football," a disappointed fan told the newspaper.
