Overall inconsistency and gaps in the batting and bowling unit were the reasons for the Pakistan team’s below-par performance in the ICC World Cup 2023.
Pakistan lost four matches in a row starting with a debacle against arch-rivals India. They ended their campaign with a 93-run defeat to England to eventually finish fifth in the competition.

After the defeat to England in which Pakistan conceded 337-9 in 50 overs with two of their bowlers giving away 70-plus runs in their 10 overs. In reply, their batters could manage only 244 before being all out in 43.3 overs with only Agha Salman scoring a half-century.
