ICC Men’s World Cup 2023 is a pure thriller. Suspense is growing day by day. Just a few group-stage matches are left for all teams. All the teams are trying hard to win the remaining matches. India has already qualified for the semifinals. The other three teams are trying hard to be in the top 4 positions. For some teams, calculations are complicated but they are also trying hard. Pakistan is also in a complicating position. A lot of pressure is there on them. Michael Vaughan took a dig at them very recently.
Pakistan’s Performance in the Tournament:
Pakistan won their first two matches but after that, their disappointments continued. They lost their first match against India with a huge 7 wickets win. From there, their downfall started. After that, they faced a 62-run defeat against Australia. Afghanistan also defeated them by 8 wickets. They played a thriller match against South Africa. Both teams fought well but South Africa ended on high.
After those defeats, Pakistan skipper Babar Azam was criticized brutally. He was not performing well in the whole tournament. His performance was questionable. Even the experts raised questions about his captaincy. In this situation, Inzaman Ul Haq resigned from the Pakistan Cricket Board’s Chief post. That was not the end, the former Pakistani player revealed that the PCB Chairman was not responding to Babar Azam.
Vaughan’s Take on that:
Pakistan cricket suffering a lot at this moment. They are dealing with bad form as well and their cricket board is in a dilemma. Every day there is new news about Pakistan cricket. Michael Vaughan takes a dig at them sarcastically. He said, “ I worry about Pakistan tomorrow… it’s been too calm these last couple of days… they need someone to resign today or leak a what’s app message.”
The next match is crucial for New Zealand and Pakistan. New Zealand was doing well in the first but they lost their flow and faced some losses. The semifinal stage is coming near, so all remaining matches are crucial for them. On the other hand, Pakistan’s qualifying scenario for the semifinal is critical but they are hustling hard..
