ICC ODI World Cup The Pakistan team almost out of the ODI World Cup
Wasim Akram mocked the Pakistani team – In the ICC World Cup 2023, the condition of the Pakistan cricket team has become very dire. The team is on the verge of elimination from the semi-finals.
Under the leadership of Babar Azam, Pakistan is set to play its last league match against England. The equation for the Pakistan cricket team in this match makes it nearly impossible for them to reach the semi-finals.
Meanwhile, the former captain of the team, Wasim Akram, has expressed his frustration by mocking the squad.”
Akram bore the shame of Pakistan’s performance
On a Pakistani TV show, Wasim Akram said, ‘The Pakistan cricket team will have to do something special for qualification today. They should bat first against England and then keep England locked in their dressing room, not allowing them to play on the field. This is the only way for Pakistan to reach the semi-finals.’ He mocked the Pakistani team.
The Pakistan cricket team had a promising start in the 2023 World Cup, but gradually, their performance graph began to decline. Unfortunately, they had to endure embarrassing defeats in four consecutive matches.
Numerous former Pakistani players expressed their frustration with Babar Azam’s team due to its disappointing World Cup performance. Whether on social media or TV shows, the current team is facing mockery and criticism for its shortcomings.
What is the equation for Pakistan?
The semi-final equation is extremely challenging for the Pakistan cricket team. Should Pakistan bat first in the match against England, they would need to secure a victory by a margin of at least 280 runs.
Alternatively, if they are chasing a target, the match would have to be concluded within 3 overs. In this scenario, reaching the semi-finals for Pakistan has become an almost impossible task.
