Mickey Arthur, the team director of Pakistan, expressed his dissatisfaction after India secured a comprehensive 7-wicket victory over Pakistan at the Narendra Modi Stadium. He raised concerns about the one-sided nature of the fan base and the atmosphere in the stadium. He noted that it felt more like a bilateral series or a Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) event than an ICC tournament. The absence of Pakistani fans in the stands, due to visa issues, contributed to the imbalance. Arthur acknowledged the impact of the partisan crowd but emphasized that it wouldn't be used as an excuse for the defeat
