What's new

Pakistan (224) end their ICC World Cup 2023 campaign and fail to qualify for the Semi-Finals with a 93-run loss to England (337/9)

Kinda sad to not have any more NRR calculations to look forward to. :yk

It's been a disastrous performance considering these are as close to home-like conditions as Pakistan will get during a World Cup. Just one issue after another starting with the Naseem injury.

Poor captaincy, bad fielding, slow batting, and a mediocre bowling attack.

Just bad all around.
 
Wasim Akram during program on A sports after Pakistan's defeat against England:

"Let's be direct, let's be honest. First, the kind of our performance.For the first time in history, Pakistan in this World Cup has lost five matches, which had never happened in any World Cup before.

It's like... I said I am sorry, I've been too blunt. It was evident from the Asia Cup onwards; everybody knew the team is struggling, there are fitness problems.

I don't know what's going to happen in the future regarding this team. The boys are young, about 10 to 12 boys are still under 30.This is not a problem....it can be rectified.

About today's match, there is not much to talk about. England, once they won the toss... again, the remaining little confidence, hunger... I think it was clear after the toss that it's all over for Pakistan. Although I knew Pakistan wouldn't be able to qualify.But we are bound to say, mathematically, perhaps they reach the semi-finals."

Is Agha going to be hyped after this? He looks like an average joe who is having a lucky day
Atleast he got age in his side to work with... Still early days for him in intl cricket...
Ifthikhar played because of Rizwan , he is a friendship quota player

Im sure he would have done better if got the chance to play enough matches like Ifthi did..

Ifthikhar and Asif ali are simply the gulli danda bits and pieces. atleast Ifthi can get away in T20 with his technique because only less over to survive but in longer formats he will be like how he played this entire tournament...

Finally got away with Asif Ali and with this tournament Ifthi will also be gone i hope.. Under Mickey, Misbah brought his friend Ifthi and gave him one chance in test in England and with that 1 ball he got out to Mickey decided enough of this piece, never returned.. When Mickey was sacked Misbah brought his friends back IN again, that is how IFTHI's career of 3-4 years was made
 
PCB and Pakistan should be happy that they got to play 9 ODI matches in this calendar year. against all top teams..

Given this chance , AFG leaped with brilliance every day looked like beating Aus too 91-7 , that missed catch got them rolling...1 drop catch put them outta semis i would say..
 
Disappointed big time had so many expectations from them

Turned into a disaster campaign
