World Cup 2019: Rejuvenate Pakistan with emphatic win down the Host

Each day the world is born anew for him who takes it rightly – James Russell Lowell

According to the Pakistan last match mortify defeat against West Indies. There are many doubts before the start of the play. Would Pakistan be managed to stop their 11 ODI loses streak? Would they manage to tackle Englishmen as they had a humiliating series defeat against them in the last month? Pakistan is nowhere to answer all these but it more look like that their losing streak will continue and they add another blow to their losing tally.

On contrary of all the above doubts, Pakistan looks absolutely different side against England today. They look positive and played positively from the start. We need to give credit for their great mental strength to rejuvenate them and deliver such a fantastic performance here.

They just try to make a successful comeback after 105 all out the crushing defeat against West Indies and previous 11 continuous ODI lost.  Capricious Pakistan played like what they known for, the unpredictable side shows some harsh and handy cricket and making their mark by suppressing England in the competition. They played outstandingly and out class Englishmen in every department.

Imam Ul Haq 44 and Fakhar Zaman 36 gave Pakistan the brilliant start just what they needed from them a well set platform for a competitive total. With high quality of middle order performances Babar Azam 63, Mohammad Hafeez 84 and Captain Sarfaaz 55 are making sure that team reached to a formidable record chase total of 348 for the England. If England has to won this they have to chase a record total surpassing previous successful chase 329/7 by Ireland against England only. Despite the pitch is batting friendly England Captain Eoin Morgan opt to bowl after won the toss. The decision he took, he must be repented on that as what Pakistan has done here no one can imagine after their frustrated losing match against Windies.

Englishmen really looked out of the competition. Batting didn’t click what they delivered a month ago in the home series against same side, looked vanished today here. Jason Roy and Johny Bairstow how just the duo battered Pakistan in last month, are faded away today. Captain Morgan and Strokes are also bundled out cheaply.  Except Joe Root hard efforts 107 runs, and later on magnificent fastest century in the World Cup Jos Buttler 103 in just 75 balls gave the Pakistan some tough time in the middle. Both played extremely well and fought hard but couldn’t take the England near to the target. Except both the centurion no other player seems to tackle the Pakistan bowling. England lost by 14 runs.

One wrong decision will change the whole complexion of game. Won the toss and opt for field on batting favoring pitch will be repented by Morgan again and again. Adding to this England seems lethargic in field (except Chris Wokes he was outstanding in the field as took couple of brilliant catches), various misfields. England needs some thinking on the today performance.

Pakistan must be on a high spirit, a convincing victory which ends their record losing streak. Reviving them from the terrible loses and giving this brilliant performance like this is just not an easy. Pakistan has played differently and smartly. They made changes in their play in every department. They have shown high intend to deliver the high class performance. By delivering such excellent performance

Pakistan just pays homage and wishes of Eid Mubarak to their fans and country in advance. Now, let’s watch out for more kaleidoscopic journey in this World Cup.
