NEW DELHI: Pakistan's Saud Shakeel, a key batsman for the national team, lamented the absence of passionate Pakistani supporters in their recent World Cup clash against arch-rivals India. Reflecting on their disappointing defeat, Shakeel highlighted the added pressure the team faced in the high-stakes match.
The Pakistan cricket team faced a heavy seven-wicket defeat at the hands of India on Saturday at Ahmedabad's colossal 132,000-capacity stadium. However, the noticeable absence of Pakistani fans was a significant factor that contributed to the team's performance. Babar Azam's team slumped from a solid 155/2 in the 30th over to be dismissed for a paltry 191.
