Karachi: Pakistan was defeated in the 3rd ODI against England. With this loss, England's second-string team white-washed the Pakistan team 3-0. Pak team was highly criticised for their performance. Despite posting 331 in the first innings in the third ODI, Pakistan's bowlers could not do the trick ad England chased down the target in 48 overs.
Former Pak spinner, Danish Kaneria has said that it looked like Pakistan's B-Team was playing the match. He said, “It seemed like Pakistan’s B-Team was playing against England’s A-Team and were brutally thrashed, whitewashed 0-3. Where has Pakistan’s performance gone? No doubt Babar Azam has gained his form but what about bowling?
“Such a poor performance. Neither they can bowl nor field well and take catches. Why are they even playing cricket? Why are they up to ruin the Pakistan cricket team?” Kaneria said in his YouTube video.
Kaneria also took out his anger at Shaheen Afridi and advised him to "change their attitude". Kaneria also said that the situation was favourable for Pakistan as the main England team was not playing the match.
“Thankfully, Eoin Morgan’s didn’t play against this Pakistan team otherwise they would have thrashed them brutally. They would have scored 400 and have bowled you out for 200-odd; such a strong bowling attack they have.
“England were struggling at one point. They were 165 for 5 and then Pakistan bowlers let them score. They let them chase 332. Babar Azam Sahab, your bowling rotation and captaincy – poor!” he added.
Pakistan will now play a 3 match T20I series against England. Will the Pak players be able to turn things around? It doesn't look like at the moment.
