Pakistan will take on the Netherlands in their next Super 12 fixture in Group 2 of the ICC T20 World Cup 2022 at the Optus Stadium in Perth on Sunday, October 30. The Men in Green are on the verge of elimination from the marquee event.

Pakistan lost their first two matches of the ongoing T20 World Cup and finished fifth in the Group 2 points table. The Men in Green were beaten by India in their opening game of the World Cup, followed by a 1-run defeat to Zimbabwe in Perth on Thursday.

Zimbabwe’s team had scored 130 runs for 8 wickets, and Pakistan’s team could only score 129 runs in 20 overs. Former Pakistan players have raised many questions regarding the poor team selection.

Skipper Babar Azam said after the match that Zimbabwe scored 10 more runs than expected. Former Pakistan Captain Salman Butt labelled his statement “foolish” and said that 130 runs were more, which means the team is not even worth it.

130 Bhi Bada Lag Raha Hai Score? – Salman Butt 

“Kal se, I haven’t thought beyond the statement jo hamaare kaptaan ne, hamaare best player ne, duniya ke top player ne baat ki thi, ki 10 run zyada the. Yaar 130 me bhi 10 zyada the? Ye kya statement hai? 130 bhi bada lag raha hai score? (I couldn’t move on from the statement from our captain, our best player yesterday. He said that they scored 10 runs more. Are you saying that even in 130 runs, they scored 10 extra? What was this statement?),” Butt said

“Kya kare bowler? Doosri team ke balley gaayab kar lein? Kya karein? Kaise zyada tha score. Ye baat unhone presentation me kahi hai. (What can the bowler do? Do they start hiding opposition players’ bats? How was this score big? He said this in presentation!),” Butt added.

The opening pair of Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan failed to score in the run-chase against Zimbabwe. Apart from Shaun Masood’s 44 runs, no batsman scored as Pakistan fell by one run. The defeat highlighted Pakistan’s middle-order weakness, which is a major concern for Pakistan.
