In Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad, Pakistan and India are facing each other in the 12th match of the ICC World Cup 2023.
Pakistan had a brilliant start as they were 73-2 in 12.3 overs, but they struggled to maintain that pace and started playing slowly, scoring only 82 runs in the next 17.1 overs.
Captain Babar Azam completed a half-century in the 30th over, but immediately after that, he was bowled by Mohammad Siraj, and then the downfall began as Green Shirts lost all wickets for 191 runs in the next 12 overs.
Fans expressed on their social media accounts that the batting collapse tonight reminded them of the old days when Pakistan would start well and then lose wickets one after the other.
However, some fans believe that Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan's slow batting put extra pressure on the other batsmen. Fans reacted to this on X.
