Virender Sehwag slams Pakistan Cricket Team: The much-awaited Pakistan vs Afghanistan match of the ICC Men’s ODI World Cup 2023 was scheduled to be played on October 23 at MA Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai.
Ahead of the game, everyone expected Pakistan to win the game by considering their strong head-to-head stats against Afghanistan. Pakistan have won 7 ODIs out of their last 8 clash against Afghanistan.
Apart from the historical data, Pakistan has proved their worth in many international clashes by winning games against many strong international teams. Even in the World Cup 2023 campaign, Pakistan kickstarted their journey with two consecutive victories against the Netherlands and Sri Lanka.
Their victory journey was concluded by India when the hosts beat them by 7 wickets. Following the defeat, Pakistan faced Australia and lost the game by 62 runs and registered their hattrick loss of the tournament when they faced Afghanistan.
Following the shocking and unaccepted defeat, many former cricketers slammed Babar Azam-led Pakistan. Former Indian opener Virendra Sehwag is not an exception on the list.
“Pakistan is an unpredictable side, but the way they have been making lame excuses for their earlier defeats, this was certainly on the cards. Just did not focus on their many weaknesses. What a proud day for Afghanistan, came close many times but today crossed the line,” Sehwag wrote on ‘X’.
