This time, Pakistan was among the World Cup favorites because of the presence of famous world-class bowlers in the team. Shaheen Shah Afridi, Haris Rauf and Hasan Ali were all said by cricket pundits to be a challenge for any batsman.
However, with the start of the World Cup, all these stars completely disappointed the fans. Pakistan entered the field to face England on Saturday with an almost impossible semi-dream. That hope also disappeared when England won the toss. After today’s match, Babar Azam and his team can return home.
With the match against England, Pakistan pacer Harris Rauf created an embarrassing record for himself. Rauf became the first Asian player to concede 500 runs in a World Cup. Despite being seventh in the list of wicket-takers, the player did not hesitate to give away runs. The player took 14 wickets from nine matches. Meanwhile, the player gave away more than 500 runs.
The star’s economy in the tournament is 6.8. The 30-year-old star’s strike rate is 32.14. In the match against England, the player has already conceded 51 runs by taking one wicket in eight overs. Pakistan’s semi-final hopes ended when England won the toss and decided to bat.
Pakistan had a chance of semi-final only if England’s score was surpassed in 16 balls. However, after 40 overs, England have scored 240 runs for the loss of three wickets. With this, that road was also closed. New Zealand’s net run rate is +0.743. Kiwis have ten points from nine games. If Pakistan win today, they will not be able to surpass New Zealand in run rate even if they reach ten points.
