Cricket is famously called the game of glorious uncertainties. Pakistan proved that right on March 7 when South Africa crumbled while chasing a modest target of 234 runs in the reduced 47 overs match.
This is despite the fact that scoring 300-plus runs has become a norm in the tournament. Although Pakistan’s performance against SA was amazing, yet we should not expect a repeat of surprises. Our team has to prove that its victory was not a fluke. Pakistan’s bowling is alright, fielding is average, and batting is below average. Sarfraz lifted our batting hopes a little. However, to register further successes it should be ensured that one of the top four batsmen has to score 100-plus runs to surpass the aggregate of 300 runs which is the minimum threshold limit for our bowlers to bowl at.
