Fans on Twitter reacted hilariously as teams that defeated the finalists of the T20 World Cup 2022 didn’t even qualify for the 2024 T20 World Cup. They revealed the reason behind their not qualifying and expressed their sympathy with them.
Ireland and Zimbabwe failed to qualify for the 2024 T20 World Cup
The T20 World Cup 2022 is about to conclude. After the exciting 44 games, it has come down to the showdown. Pakistan and England are the two teams that will cross swords with each other for the final of the tournament on Sunday (13th November).
However, with this edition yet to conclude, 12 teams have qualified for the 2024 T20 World Cup which includes West Indies, USA ( who are hosts), India, England, New Zealand, Pakistan, Australia, South Africa, Afghanistan, Sri Lanka, Netherlands and Bangladesh.
However, Ireland and Zimbabwe, who played well in the league stage failed to qualify. The reason behind them not being there for the next World Cup is that they ended their respective groups at the bottom. Ironically, Ireland defeated England and Zimbabwe thumped Pakistan and still qualified.
Zimbabwe beat finalists Pakistan.

Had West Indies and the USA not been the hosts for the next edition, both Ireland and Zimbabwe would’ve qualified for the 2024 edition of the tournament. They now have to play qualifiers ahead of the event to find themselves in the next stage.

England started bad but they would have won it had it not been for D/L. On the other hand we played poor cricket against Zimbabwe. Zimbabwe beat Pakistan and Netherlands beat saouth africa. If Zimbabwe is left behind then it means Netherlands played better cricket.

This is a fundamental injustice. Qualification for World Cups should not be so arbitrary – it should be based on consistent performance over years, which both @cricketireland and #Zimbabwe #Cricket have displayed. @ICC please address this. https://t.co/nJFQRG6RW3

Your take on this ? https://t.co/vBsIFg5BIa— Master RS 🇮🇳 (@VDMaster11) November 11, 2022
Still can't believe how both #England and #Pakistan qualified after losing against such low rank teams in group stage 😐
