Pakistan captain Salman Ali Agha’s wife, Sabba Manzer, slammed trolls after her husband and their young son faced abuse following Pakistan’s Super 8 loss to England in the T20 World Cup 2026. In a sharp Instagram post, she said targeting her family will not help Pakistan win the World Cup.
Salman Ali Agha’s lean run with the bat continues
Despite their best efforts in defending what seemed like a below-par total of 164, the Men in Green went down by two wickets. While England captain Harry Brook scored a timely hundred after they lost early wickets, his Pakistani counterpart Salman Agha continued to struggle with the bat. The spin-bowling all-rounder started the tournament with 1 and has followed up with scores of 4 and 38 against India and Namibia, respectively. The game against England saw him get dismissed for 5 only in the fourth over of the innings. Brook’s 51-ball 100, laced with 10 fours and four sixes, was the catalyst in propelling England to victory and the semi-finals of T20 World Cup 2026.
In a story shared on Instagram, Agha’s wife wrote:
“Sending me or my innocent son abuse is not going to win the World Cup, Pakistani fans.”

“Have to say hats off to him” – Salman Ali Agha on Harry Brook
At the post-game presentation, Agha admitted that it’s always Brook, who performs against Pakistan and consigns them to a defeat, elaborating:
“Whenever we play against England and lose, it’s always him. have to say hats off to him and the way he batted today. Very challenging, the way he batted. He can play all around the ground so it can get challenging. They batted really well against Tariq. They didn’t go hard against him. Still he got two wickets. The way Nawaz bowled the 19th over, I thought maybe, you never know. Even if there’s a 1% chance my team will go for it.”
While England have qualified for the semi-finals, Pakistan’s chances look largely brink.
