During the second match of the ongoing ICC Cricket World Cup 2019 between West Indies and Pakistan at Trent Bridge, Pakistan put on display a shambolic batting performance to commence the World Cup for them.
After West Indies captain Jason Holder won the toss and opted to field, Pakistan’s innings never got going. Starting from the third over, Pakistan lost wickets at regular intervals to eventually get bowled out on 105 in 21.4 overs.
Opening batsman Fakhar Zaman (22) and No. 3 batsman Babar Azam (22) were the highest run-scorers for the Pakistan. But none of them converting their starts into a significant total.
While the excessive cloud cover aided West Indies’ bowlers, some of the Pakistani batsmen falling prey to casual shots hurt them the most. With captain Sarfaraz Ahmed (8) departing in the 17th over, Pakistan lost half their side on 75.
While it was an all-round show by West Indies’ bowlers, Oshane Thomas ended up as the highest wicket-taker for them. Despite being introduced as the third change bowler in the 12th over, Thomas ended up registering bowling figures of 5.4-0-27-4.
Other than Thomas, Holder ended up picking three and all-rounder Andre Russell dismissed a couple of batsmen. Been found wanting against the West Indian bowlers, Pakistani batsmen allured several criticizing remarks on social media platform Twitter.
