Pakistan’s Batting Struggles: A Critical Examination Before the Asia Cup

Pakistan’s performance in the ongoing tri-series has raised concerns, particularly after their loss to Afghanistan. Afghanistan, after scoring 169 runs, put pressure on Pakistan’s batting lineup. Pakistan’s team managed only 151 runs. The batting performance revealed significant weaknesses, particularly the ‘zero’ statistic. The team struggled badly at the Sharjah ground. From the 8th over to the 17th over, the team’s performance was quite poor, with no boundaries scored for a span of 74 balls. This highlighted the fragility of Pakistan’s batting lineup, a serious concern as they approach the Asia Cup.
