Afghanistan have made a big win and once again registered its presence in the world cup. Bad day for Pakistan, though they scored good they weren't able to defend Afghanistan team with the bowling line-up. One among the expected team had disappointed. On mathematical calculation it is possible, but with this performance they cannot move forward. Really disappointing, because Pakistan is said as the team with the best bowling team before the start, but the performance isn't to the level expected.
I think we should appreciate Afghanistan team because it's first time ever win for them in world cup against Pakistan which was really unexpected from start of the game because most of us believe that 280 around will be enough to defend on such difficult pitch for Pakistan bowler but not and none of bowler able to put his team on track again which is really disappointing. I think Pakistan has done good at batting, but they were not up to the mark in bowling and especially Feilding as everyone know even a single run out or catch can break opponent momentum and allow you to be in the game
Moreover, if Naseem Shah was in the World Cup squad, their bowling attack would have been stronger. He is unable to play in the World Cup due to injury. This is a big loss for Pakistan.
It's totally true that absence of Naseem has distressing impact on Pakistan bowling trio, but it's part of the game, but I believe if he were in squad for this World then results will be totally different and something special because his availability make Pakistan bowling more complete and confident
