Is this an ICC match? Upset Pakistani administrator..!?

In the match against the indian team, the pakistan team lost by 7 wickets. With this, pakistan lost to india for the 8th time in the history of the world cup series. After the end of the first innings, there was a total change in the body language of the Pakistani players. Similarly, by not trusting fast bowlers and suddenly bringing spinners into the attack, pakistan is seen as admitting defeat. Similarly, the role of ahmedabad fans in the success of the indian team and the defeat of the Pakistani team is also hidden.
When pakistan team captain Babar Azam walked on the field to throw the toss, the indian fans started cheering him and pulled him into a ruckus. Babar Azam could not even answer a question raised by ravi shastri during the toss. Also during the bowling, Haris Raf of the pakistan team threatened shreyas iyer by throwing some bouncers. Similarly, the dj on the ground was encouraging the indian team by singing songs favorable to them and naming stars like Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, and Bumrah. The same incident happened in the 2011 world cup India-Pakistan match and even now the DJ's mic did not even once cheer for the pakistan players, pakistan batsmen's shots, or wickets.
Apart from that there was not even a flag or fans to support the pakistan team. It was obvious even watching on television. Speaking after the match, pakistan team director Mickey Arthur said that this world cup match was not like the match conducted by ICC. It is like a bilateral cricket series between two countries. It looks like a match conducted on behalf of BCCI. There were no chants in support of the pakistan team. He do not attribute this to failure. He said that he is in favor of meeting the indian team again in the final.
