Win or lose v ENG, Pakistan
is out of the CWC23.
Bowling was supposed to be the Strength of the team but it actually was the Bane. Completely clueless at times, Bowling without purpose and not adapting to the conditions. The less said about the spinners.
The Batting was always going to be a huge Q-Mark?
With only two World class batters in Babar Azam and Rizwan, a lot was asked from them. Once they were out, the Batting collapsed miserably at times esp v India. From 150/2 to 191 as an example.
Security and confinement in hotels is being made an excuse but the Team knew about this situation even before they landed in India.
The visa delays meant that Pakistan had very limited time to get acclimatised to the Indian conditions as the team had never played in India before.
All other teams did not have this disadvantage as most of the players played or play in the IPL every year.
It's time for the PCB to look inward instead of pointing fingers at issues which are not in their control.
