Former fast bowler Shoaib Akhtar lashed out at the Pakistani team after the West Indies’ worst defeat. Shoaib Akhtar criticized the team after such a crushing defeat in the third ODI match against the West Indies. Shoaib Akhtar criticized the national team along with the new coach of the Pakistan national team, Mike Hesson.
Pakistan won the first ODI against the West Indies and performed much better in the second. But in the third ODI match against the West Indies, the Pakistani team showed such a performance that it faced a very embarrassing defeat. The entire Pakistani team was a complete failure in this match.
Chasing a target of 295 runs, the Pakistani team was bundled out for just 92 runs, which is embarrassing. The former fast bowler says the Pakistani batting line-up is completely ineffective on bowling-friendly pitches. Pakistan’s top order failed and the first three batsmen returned to the pavilion after scoring zero runs. He also raised questions about Muhammad Rizwan’s captaincy.
Shoaib Akhtar harshly criticized Mike Hesson:
The former fast bowler said that Mike Hesson is the best T20 coach, but I don’t know what feature he has for ODIs . This is what will result to you if you don’t play quality players. He further said that if you do not prepare the batsmen, all-rounders, bowlers and spinners properly, you cannot complete the full 50 overs.
He said that this was not the fault of the players but due to wrong policies and mismanagement and if your players face such conditions in any corner of the world, their performance will remain the same. It was fortunate that there were no world-class bowlers like Pat Cummins and Mitchel Starc here, otherwise what would our batting line-up have been like.
Questions were also raised about Muhammad Rizwan’s captaincy:
Questions are also being raised about Mohammad Rizwan’s captaincy after the worst ODI series defeat against the West Indies. Where the West Indies team was expected to score 150 runs, the team scores 295 runs because Pakistan team captain Muhammad Rizwan did not conduct his captaincy properly.
While our spinners Saim Ayub and Abrar Ahmed were bowling very well, our captain replaced them with fast bowlers. Saim Ayub and Abrar Ahmed have not even completed their 10 overs and our fast bowlers conceded so many scores that the West Indies’ target reached 295 runs.
And Sufyan Muqeem, who has performed well in previous matches, was not even included in the team for the third match. While our spin bowlers are performing well, our management has prioritized playing fast bowlers. And our bowlers gave away 120 runs in the last 10 overs, which is too much.
Muhammad Rizwan’s statement after the embarrassing defeat by the West Indies:
We understood that the conditions were very different from the first two matches. Our bowling was very good in the beginning and we kept the West Indies score within the limit. Our idea was to restrict the West Indies target to 220 runs. But in the end our bowling was not good and our bowlers gave away too many runs.
The match was in our hands from the beginning but in the end it got out of our hands after chasing a huge target of 295 runs. Our top order was a complete failure and our batting line-up did not perform well, which led to us losing the match.
Shai Hope’s statement after the victory:
Shahi Hope put in a brilliant performance in the third ODI against Pakistan, scoring a century for his team. It was thanks to Shai Hope’s century that the West Indies team was able to score a huge total of 295 runs. After the win, Hope made a statement and said that our goal is to set a target of 270 to 280.
We had wickets so we took full advantage of them and gave a good target for our team. We struggled a lot at the beginning, but in the air we set a very good target for the team. And we played very well today and because of that game we won this series.
