Chennai: Pakistan is the team that came to the ODI World Cup with title hopes. But with their third straight defeat, even Pakistan’s semi-final chances were in the balance. Pakistan started by defeating Netherlands in the first match. Then Sri Lanka was overtaken. Three defeats followed. First it was crushed by India. Australia then bowled. Now the darkness of Afghanistan. Pakistan is fifth in the points table. Babar Azam’s team has only four points in five matches.
Pakistan have four matches left. Those who face it are too strong. Bangladesh is the only country that can be said to be relatively weak. That’s why it’s difficult to get into the semi-finals. Pakistan’s next match is against South Africa on Thursday. Chidambaram Stadium itself will be the venue for the match. It will not be easy for Pakistan to overcome the in-form South Africa.
The next match is on 31st of this month. That too against Bangladesh. The venue is Eden Gardens, Kolkata. Bangladesh cannot be written off. With Pakistan’s current form, it will not be easy to overcome Bangladesh. Pakistan will arrive at Bengaluru’s Chinnaswamy Stadium on November 4. This time they have to face New Zealand who are second in the points table. Let’s see what happens to Pakistan. Pakistan will fly back to Kolkata for the final match. Pakistan will face the world champions England on November 11. England are currently in last place but a comeback could come at any time.
Afghanistan won by eight wickets at the MA Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai. After winning the toss and electing to bat, Pakistan scored 282 runs for the loss of seven wickets in the allotted overs. In reply, Afghanistan overcame the target with the loss of just two wickets in 49 overs.
