The Pakistan Cricket Board on Thursday hinted that skipper Babar Azam's captaincy could be on the line if the team's campaign in the ongoing World Cup fails. Pakistan are in a must-win situation against a marauding South Africa in Chennai on Friday and a loss will virtually end their hopes of progressing to the semifinals, as they have suffered three consecutive defeats in five matches so far.
Netherlands coach Ryan Cook admitted their dream of reaching the semifinal at the ongoing World Cup "looks a bit distant" following the drubbing that the team got at the hands of Australia in New Delhi. The Dutch team lost by 309 runs -- the biggest in tournament history -- against Australia, their fourth loss to lie at the bottom of the points table. The Dutch team will face Bangladesh in their next assignment, before taking on Afghanistan, England and India. "We're going to back ourselves against any team that we come up against. Obviously, we do have four more matches left and we'll be aiming to try and get as many victories as we can.
The Pakistan cricket team was no match to Afghanistan in the Cricket World Cup 2023 on Monday, suffering an 8-wicket loss. Be it the batting unit or the bowling unit, none clicked for Babar Azam's men as the Afghans secured their first-ever victory over Pakistan in an ODI match. From batting, bowling to fielding, Pakistan produced a below-par performance in all three departments, leaving much to be desired. However, seeing some using pacer Naseem Shah's absence as an excuse, India great Virender Sehwag slammed Pakistan on social media.
Pakistan pacer Naseem Shah remained optimistic as Afghanistan looked to be cruising towards an unprecedented victory in the Cricket World Cup 2023 match on Monday. Naseem, who missed out on a spot in Pakistan's World Cup squad due to an injury, remained an ardent fan of the team, cheering for them from back home. As things looked tough for Pakistan at Chepauk, Naseem took to X (formerly Twitter), suggesting his team would still emerge victorious. But, what eventually happened on the field was the opposite.
The M Chinnaswamy stadium in Bengaluru is all set for a terrific contest, as England take on Sri Lanka in match no. 25 of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 on Thursday, October 26. Sri Lanka and England have suffered a similar fate in the tournament until this point. Both teams have picked up only one victory so far and put themselves far away from contention for a place in the knockout stages. However, with plenty of other results working out favourably, they still are within touching distance of that fourth spot.
Pakistan find themselves in a spot of bother at the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup 2023 as the tournament heads into the second half. The 1992 champions have struggled for consistency despite getting a good start and as it stands, their future in the tournament remains uncertain. Pakistan won their opening match against the Netherlands in Hyderabad, before completing a World Cup-record run chase against Sri Lanka at the same venue. However, the tables started turning once they headed to Ahmedabad to face hosts India.
Pakistan cricket team is facing a lot of questions. And, quite rightly so. The Babar Azam-led side slumped to an eight-wicket loss against a lower-ranked Afghanistan in a stunning result at the Cricket World Cup. Counted as among the pre-Cricket World Cup favourites, the Pakistan cricket team faces an early exit form the marquee event after three straight losses. They are currently living on the edge and any more lapses will spell doom for the side at the Cricket World Cup.
All-rounder Glenn Maxwell smashed the fastest century in World Cup history as Australia crushed the Netherlands by a mammoth 309 runs in Delhi on Wednesday.
