]]> Former Pakistani Cricketer Basit Ali Criticizes Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan https://newsanalysisindia.com/sports/former-pakistani-cricketer-basit-ali-criticizes-babar-azam-and-mohammad-rizwan/ Fri, 15 Aug 2025 00:00:00 +0000 http://newsanalysisindia.local/former-pakistani-cricketer-basit-ali-criticizes-babar-azam-and-mohammad-rizwan/ West Indies secured a historic series victory against Pakistan, winning the ODI series 2-1. Despite Pakistan’s initial win in the series, they lost the subsequent two matches. The lackluster performances of Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan in these matches drew criticism from former Pakistani cricketers. Basit Ali, a former player, suggested that they should focus on advertisements instead of playing cricket. In the final match against West Indies, the entire Pakistani team was bowled out for a mere 92 runs in 29.2 overs, resulting in a significant 202-run defeat. Both Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan had poor showings, with the former scoring only nine runs and the latter failing to score at all. Ali expressed his disappointment, stating that the players are living off past performances and do not listen to the coaches, but only pretend to do so. Babar Azam averaged 18.66 with a strike rate of 62.22, scoring 56 runs in the three matches. Mohammad Rizwan scored 69 runs at an average of 23 and a strike rate of 63.88, including one half-century. Their performances in ODI cricket have been declining.

]]> Pakistan Fears Humiliating Defeat Against India in Asia Cup 2025, Reportedly Praying for Match Cancellation https://newsanalysisindia.com/sports/pakistan-fears-humiliating-defeat-against-india-in-asia-cup-2025-reportedly-praying-for-match-cancellation/ Thu, 14 Aug 2025 00:00:00 +0000 http://newsanalysisindia.local/pakistan-fears-humiliating-defeat-against-india-in-asia-cup-2025-reportedly-praying-for-match-cancellation/ The much-anticipated India-Pakistan match in the Asia Cup 2025 is scheduled for September 14th. Anticipation runs high among fans for this clash. However, former Pakistani cricketer Basit Ali has made a startling statement regarding the match. Ali expressed concern over Pakistan’s recent performance and admitted that he hopes India declines to play against Pakistan in the Asia Cup to avoid a potential embarrassment.

Ali’s comments stem from Pakistan’s poor showing against the West Indies, where they lost the three-match ODI series 2-1. In the third and final ODI, Pakistan was bowled out for a mere 92 runs while chasing a target of 295. Speaking on the YouTube channel ‘The Game Plan,’ Ali stated, “I pray that India refuses to play against Pakistan in the Asia Cup, similar to their decision in the World Championship of Legends. If that doesn’t happen, they will thrash us so badly that you can’t even imagine.”

The host of the YouTube channel humorously pointed out that Pakistan struggles even against Afghanistan. Ali responded by saying, “If we lose to Afghanistan, nobody in the country will care, but if our team loses to India, everyone will go crazy.”

The Asia Cup 2025 is set to commence on September 9th. India and Pakistan have been placed in the same group. Both teams are yet to announce their squads. Before the ODI series, Pakistan played a three-match T20 series against the West Indies, which they won 2-1.

In the ODI series against the West Indies, Salman Ali Agha scored the most runs for Pakistan in the third match with 30 runs. Pakistan’s top order faltered, with Sam Ayub, Abdullah Shafique, and captain Mohammad Rizwan failing to score any runs. Babar Azam was dismissed after scoring 9 runs. The performance of Pakistan in the upcoming Asia Cup 2025 remains to be seen.

Meanwhile, India recently concluded a five-match test series against England, which ended in a 2-2 draw. Fans are now eagerly awaiting India’s performance in the Asia Cup 2025, with India being considered a strong contender to win the tournament.
