Pakistan have missed out on the semi-finals of an ICC men’s event for the fourth successive time.<\/p>\n
According to articles in the Express Tribune and on ESPNcricinfo, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) made the decision to hit the players financially after the group-stage defeat to India on February 15.<\/p>\n

\n Pakistan’s Sahibzada Farhan scored a record 383 runs at the 2026 Men’s T20 World Cup<\/p>\n
That punishment was set to be waived if Pakistan reached the last four but they missed out on the knockout stages on net run-rate after a rain-off against New Zealand and defeat to England preceded the five-run victory over Sri Lanka.<\/p>\n
Among the players reportedly fined is opening batter Sahibzada Farhan, who broke the record for the most runs at a T20 World Cup, eclipsing Virat Kohli’s haul of 319 at the 2014 event.<\/p>\n
Farhan, who amassed 383 runs, is the only player to score two centuries in the same T20 World Cup, scoring 100 against Sri Lanka and 100 not out versus Namibia.<\/p>\n
