And the elimination of Pakistan from this edition of the T20 World Cup gave Jaffer another opportunity to show his witty side.
T20 WORLD CUP: SCHEDULE | POINTS TABLEJaffer posted on X: "Contrary to popular belief, Pakistan didn't get knocked out because USA v IRE got rained off. They got knocked out because Pakistan lost to USA :) #USAvIRE #T20WorldCup"
The United States progressed to the Super Eights knockout stage at the expense of former champions Pakistan as their group match against Ireland in Lauderhill, Florida was washed out on Friday.
India topped the group with six points while the US were placed second with five points, which meant third-placed Pakistan (two points) cannot finish in the top two even if they beat Ireland on Sunday in their final group game.
