Do Pakistan beat South Africa to hunt for semi finals in darkness is not a good question. But, it tells a story of Pakistan’s dismal performances in the 2019 world cup. Pakistan has been playing cricket world cup as their warm up games. In one of the warm up yet again it’s sorry to say that they lost to Afghanistan as they did lose to India.
India not a better side at present after losing their bilateral series against Australia at home is on song. Indians were captured yesterday by Afghanistan when they scored a paltry 224 on a good batting track. Although Afghanistan didn’t reach the target, they lost the match by only 11 runs.
Pakistan’s Mindset
If mind games need to be played it should be played against Pakistan as they have a dearth in their mindset. It’s although said many times that do Pakistan have that much power to win all their remaining encounters? If it so then watch today’s game at Lords, where the weather is bright and sunny. It looks as if South Africa will play this game as their final match and try to win it desperately. Well, do Pakistan show the exit door to South Africa from reaching the semi finals? Even if Pakistan loses to South Africa, it’s such a situation created that SA won’t make into semi finals.
There’s always a talk going on between the Pakistan cricket board officials to sack Sarfaraz from leading the side. He was a bit better as a player and didn’t do much with his captaincy. He’s playing world cup as in depression while he yarns when playing cricket matches. Do Pakistan need a psychiatrist for Sarfaraz Ahmed to make him feel cured from depressed mind? Let’s see how he behaves in the match at Lords.
