WATCH: Sarfraz turns emotional at press conference after losing to West Indies

With zero positives to speak about and a heavy heart, Sarfraz went on to face the media personnel but failed to control his emotions

Ahead of getting into the game against West Indies, Pakistan skipper Sarfraz Ahmed stated that all other teams are scared of them as they are very dangerous and of course, ‘Unpredictable’. Cut to the main event; the second match of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2019 where West Indies won the toss and invited Pakistan to bat first. The battle began and Sarfraz’s statement of being unpredictable turned out to be 100 per cent true; they were unpredictable, indeed. Nobody on this planet had this idea that Pakistan would go through one of the worst batting collapses, that too, on such a bigger occasion. The Caribbean men bundled them up for 105 in a matter of 21.4 overs. Young Oshane Thomas was the wrecker-in-chief who scalped 4 major wickets including the one of in-form batsman Babar Azam. Skipper Jason Holder notched up 3, Sheldon Cottrell 1 and the Andre Russell, who delivered the most economic spell, grabbed 2 wickets. In pursuit of 106-run target, West Indies wrapped up the business in just 13.4 overs and opened the campaign with a 7-wicket win. Sarfraz turns emotional after the humiliating loss With zero positives to speak about and a heavy heart, Sarfraz went on to face the media personnel but failed to control his emotions. He turned down his head, wiped his face and tried to defend his team. Lastly, he said, “First we have to back ourselves and not think too much about what happened today. That match is gone, so Inshallah we have the type of players who can win the next match for us,” and concluded.
