The past several days have been terrifying as disastrous floods have surged once more in the Sindh province, obliterating bridges and riverbanks, flooding homes and farmland, and killing more than 100 people this weekend. Approximately 1,000 people have died as a result of the severe monsoon that has devastated most of Pakistan since mid-June, according to the National Disaster Management Authority of that nation. According to the organisation, more than 33 million people have been affected by flooding this summer, with over 50,000 individuals rescued and close to 500,000 people living in relief camps.

Wearing black armbands, the Pakistani team members also showed their solidarity. They enthusiastically recited the lyrics as the national anthem played before the game, thanked the audience, and skipped into the locker room. Some of them had previously voiced their sorrow in public conferences and on Twitter. “Prayers for all of the flood victims throughout the nation.

During the pre-game press conference, captain Babar Azam stated, “We have discussed the situation among the players and would offer some money for flood victims.
