Bangladesh became the first team in the World Cup 2023 to get knocked out. With only one win in seven games, Bangladesh is officially out of the mega tournament. The team is currently placed 9th in the table and it has the danger of not qualifying for the Champions Trophy that will be held in 2025.
Bangladesh lost their recent clash to Pakistan, who were struggling as well before this match. Pakistan lost four on the trot and now they are back to winning ways. Pakistan had a comfortable victory of seven wickets over Bangladesh. Batting first, Bangladesh’s sorrow continues as the top order failed to give them a start, yet again. The team was reduced to 23/3 and ended up with a below-par of just 204. If not for the partnership between Mahmadullah and Litton Das, the total would be much less.
In reply, Pakistan’s openers batted with positive intent. The opening stand was broken at 128. Fakhar Zaman who came back into the playing XI scored a fluent 81. Pakistan keeps their semis hopes alive with this win.
