This was Pakistan’s second defeat in two games and their road to the semifinal has become difficult now. They had earlier lost to arch-rivals India in their campaign opener on Sunday.
Meanwhile, Shoaib Akhtar blamed the entire setup from Babar Azam the captain to Rameez Raja, the PCB chairman.
“I have been saying this repeatedly, these openers, the middle order aren’t good enough for us to get success at this level. What can I say?”
Pakistan has a bad captain. Pakistan is out of the world cup in the second game. Against Zimbabwe. Babar, come one down but he is not listening. Major flaw in Shaheen Afridi’s fitness. Major flaw in captaincy, management,” said Akhtar on his YouTube Channel.
