New Delhi. Pakistan team is out of World Cup 2023. The team lost to England by 93 runs in its last match of the tournament on Saturday. Under the captaincy of Babar Azam, the team could win only 4 out of 9 matches in the World Cup and lost 5. This is his worst performance in World Cup history. After Pakistan’s defeat, former England captain Michael Vaughan has strongly attacked Pakistan as well as former captain Mohammad Hafeez. Hafeez had recently targeted Virat Kohli and said that he is a selfish player and plays for a century. Talking about the match, England scored 337 runs while playing first. In reply, Pakistan team was all out after scoring 244 runs.
Virat Kohli had scored unbeaten 101 runs in 121 balls against South Africa. This was his 49th century of ODI career. Regarding this innings, Mohammad Hafeez had said that Kohli slows down as he comes closer to his century. He has played for a century before also. After Pakistan’s 5th defeat, Michael Vaughan wrote on X, perhaps Pakistan’s batsmen need to be a little more selfish like Virat. He also added a laughing emoji. That means he was seen making fun of Hafeez along with the Pakistani batsmen.
Rauf hit maximum 3 sixes
Talking about Pakistani innings, batsmen like Fakhar Zaman, Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan could not hit even a single six against England. Whereas number 11 batsman Haris Rauf hit the maximum number of 3 sixes for the team. Rauf was out after scoring 35 runs on 23 balls. Also hit 3 fours. The strike rate was 152.
