ISLAMABAD: Referring to unpredictable Pakistan team’s top performance against England in the 2019 Cricket World Cup (CWC) match, former skipper and cricket commentator Ramiz Raja said it is only the Green-shirts who can turn the tables so quickly, without taking pressure of the past defeats.
Pakistan once again proved their unpredictability and knocked the CWC favourites England by 14 runs at Trent Bridge on Monday.
Ramiz said what analysis one can give for a team like Pakistan. “On one day they (Pakistan) lose miserably but on the next day they shine as bright as the sun,” he said in his YouTube Channel.
He said Pakistan team deserves all the praise for not losing hope after getting crushed at the hands of the West Indies team in their first CWC match.
“Losing to West Indies had caused a lot of embarrassment for Pakistan but our team took all the negativity of the first defeat and converted it into positivity in their second match against England,” he said.
Ramiz said Pakistani players played the short ball very remarkably and also dominated the English spinners. “Fielding of the players was seen improved and the bowlers that Pakistan pitched against the English batsmen did their job well,” he said.
He said our opening partnership between Fakhar Zaman (44 runs) and Imam-ul-Haq (36 runs) paved way for the middle order to perform better. “Muhammad Hafeez, who scored 84 runs against England, had been contributing good runs for quite some time now and is dominating the middle order,” he said.
