No extras alhumdulilah, intent shown!!!
The issue is not having good bowling options. Even on the bench, we have Usama Mir, who is similar to Shadab. Even in the domestic circuit, there isn’t a standout spinner. If we could find a spinner like Ajmal or even Afridi, we could pose a serious challenge.
This bowling unit is nothing. It won’t win you games. Look at Haris, going for runs as if he is playing tape ball cricket. No sense of maturity shown by players. Imam as usual caught sleeping in the field. All they do is eat biryanis. This is international cricket, not some local league. Wholesomeness won’t win you games. This team is too soft. Ashamed that this is what Pakistan team has reduced to.

Who is responsible for Pakistan’s defeat against India tonight?
Congratulations to Team India! Pakistan started off well but lost track. Pakistani batters seemed lost after Babar Azam’s wicket fell, and Indian bowlers capitalized. Chasing 192 was a walk in the park for India’s strong batting lineup, with Rohit Sharma leading the charge. We were bound to lose this match. Might as well go down swinging, pushing the run rate so we get knocked out of the tournament.
Overall, India’s brilliant performance outclassed Pakistan. Best of luck to Pakistan for the next match. Looking forward to a rematch between India and Pakistan in Ahmedabad for the World Cup final!
Let’s agree that India is a better team than Pakistan. Let’s come out of this false illusion that we are superior. In T20, we excel. We lack the temperament for 50 overs. Plus, there are barely any players capable of carrying the innings sensibly.
It didn’t seem like an ICC event tonight – let’s be brutally honest. It seemed like a bilateral series or a BCCI event. I didn’t hear Dil Dil Pakistan coming through the mics too often. That does play a role, but I won’t use it as an excuse.

How do you explain the collapse from 155 for 2 to 191 suddenly? Are you suggesting that Pakistan was playing well because of the ‘Dil Dil Pakistan’ song played by the DJ, and then they collapsed because the song stopped?
