The Pakistani Nation and cricket fans are trying to cope with the brutal loss after Pakistan versus India World Cup 2023 match on Saturday. We wonder what happened to Team Pakistan as they fizzled out in a wink of an eye after setting a low score of 192 runs on the board. Naturally, the poor performance was met with disastrous reactions.
Who Is To Blame?
This is not a loss, this is a humiliation for ages, congratulations India, 8-0 is embarrassing record & the gap between both sides just keeps increasing

Poor Batting
Extremely disappointed by the Indian team's performance. Any world cup contender would have chased the score within 20 overs.
As for Pakistan, it's time to revoke our white ball status. World's most boring batting lineup.#INDvsPAK— Ali Aftab Saeed (@aliaftabsaeed) October 14, 2023

Disappointed Shoaib Akhtar
The legendary bowler didn’t mince his words and said, “What a waste of opportunity on a great batting wicket. Disappointed. Very disappointed.”
I am sure Rohit & Virat have more pressure than this batting in nets.

Ramiz Raja Blames Babar Azam
Former Cricket World Cup winner Ramiz Raja blasted Pakistan following their crushing seven-wicket loss to arch-rivals India. “This should hurt Pakistan because they weren’t able to compete. When you’re playing against India it’s such an environment where it’s 99 percent of India fans and crowds, you’re overwhelmed.”
He added, “I understand all of that. But Babar Azam has led this side for a good four or five years, so you’ve got to rise to the occasion. If you can’t win, then at least compete. Pakistan wasn’t able to do that.”
Pakistani Skipper Speaks Up
Babar Azam, who had a partnership going with Rizwan, lamented the missed opportunity. “We started well with a good partnership. We just planned to play normal cricket and build partnerships. Suddenly there was a collapse, and we could not finish well. Not good for us,”
Crucial Match Ahead
The loss against India now places Pakistan in a challenging position in the ICC World Cup 2023 points table. Pakistan finds itself ranked fourth with a negative NRR of -0.137. As of now, they will have a tough task ahead as they prepare to face Australia on October 20.
