Pakistan: There was a time when Pakistan used to have a big name for cricket, but now the situation has become such that it has to struggle till the last ball to win from a emerging team like Nepal. Pakistan’s team somehow won the match by 1 run in a top-end T20 series. In such a situation, fans and experts are raising questions whether Pakistan is now worth it against Associate Nations?
Hair – narrowness
On 22 August, an exciting match was played between Pakistan Shaheen and Nepal in Darwin, Australia. Batting first, Pakistan Shaheen’s team scored just 144 runs losing 9 wickets in 20 overs. The Nepal bowlers did not give the Pakistani batsmen a chance to play openly while bowling brilliantly. In response, Nepal’s team chased a target of 145 runs, scoring 143 runs and lost the match with just 1 run.
This was the condition of the match
For Nepal, his captain Rohit Paudel scored a brilliant innings of 52 runs off 44 balls, while Dipendra Singh Ari hit 41 off 21 balls to take the match to the last over. The Nepal’s team added some fast runs in the middle to put the pressure completely on Pakistan (Pakistan). By the end of 19 overs, the score was 137/5 and he needed only 8 runs in 6 balls to win.
Win in the last over
Pakistan bowler Faizal Akram bowled well in the last over. Nepal needed three runs off the last ball, but Dipendra Singh’s reverse sweep went directly into the hands of the boundary fielder. Pakistan got the match, but more than the victory, its performance has raised questions. This discussion in the cricket world is in full swing that if Pakistan has this condition in front of the associate teams, then it may be difficult for it to stand in ICC tournaments in the coming time.
