ICC World Cup | What went wrong for Pakistan national cricket team???
Mountain lookin 283 target was successfully chased by Afghanistan in Chennai.
Its like a History made at Chepauk, Chennai...
This was the highest they have ever managed in ODI cricket so far that too against Pakistan. The previous highest target they overhauled was 274 against UAE in 2014.
This was the first instance of Pakistan team failing to defend a 275 plus target at the men's ODI World Cup 2023, having defended them successfully on 13 previous occasions. India's chase of 274 in 2003 was the previous highest against Pakistan at the World Cup.
Afghanistan team defeated Pakistan for the first time in ODIs after losing their previous 7 meetings in this format. They have now defeated 13 of the 17 teams against whom they have played ODIs. Showed as an emergin conqurer on the World Cup who knows..!!!
Three Consecutive defeats for Pakistan team in this World Cup 2023. They lost to India & Australia in their last two matches. Only once before have Pakistan suffered a hat trick of losses in an ODI World Cup against Bangladesh, South Africa and India in 1999.
Targets higher than Afghanistan's 283 that have been successfully chased at the men's ODI World Cup for the loss of two or fewer wickets easily.
Sri Lanka defeated England by 9 wickets while chasing 310 in 2015, while New Zealand also chased 283 against England in the opening game of this time, for the loss of just one wicket.!!
