2 Number Team, 2 Number Cricket 😡 | Time to Drop Shadab Khan & Shaheen Afridi? 👀 | Fakhar–Farhan On Fire 🔥

Pakistan vs Sri Lanka — a crucial encounter with major semi-final implications, yet a performance that exposed serious flaws despite the victory.
Pakistan posted 213 runs after a blazing start. Fakhar Zaman and Sahibzada Farhan laid the perfect foundation, taking the score close to 170+ by the 16th over. At that stage, a 240–250 total looked inevitable.
However, the momentum collapsed dramatically.
Salman Ali Agha (0),
Mohammad Nawaz (0),
Khawaja Nafay (2) —
The middle and lower order failed to finish strongly, scoring only 45 runs in the final five overs. In a match where net run rate mattered, those missing 20–25 runs could have changed the qualification equation completely.
In the bowling department, the biggest concern was Shaheen Shah Afridi. Expected to lead from the front, he struggled at the death. In the final over, with 28 runs required, consecutive boundaries — including multiple sixes — shifted the pressure dramatically. Instead of closing the game comfortably and improving the net run rate, Pakistan allowed Sri Lanka to push the contest deep. His expensive spell raised serious questions about execution under pressure in high-stakes moments.
Shadab Khan also conceded heavily in the middle overs, giving away momentum at a stage where Pakistan needed control to defend a lower threshold target for qualification purposes.
Frequent batting-order experiments involving Babar Azam have further unsettled the team balance. Strategic clarity seems missing at a crucial phase of the tournament.
Meanwhile, former cricketer Saqlain Mushtaq has publicly defended certain players, but fans remain divided given the inconsistent performances.
Pakistan secured the win — but missed a golden opportunity to dominate the qualification race.
A powerful start, a disappointing finish, and serious concerns moving forward.
Where do you think Pakistan went wrong — finishing, death bowling, or team management decisions?
