Before this match, all the teams took part in two warm-up matches each. Pakistan team also played two warm-up matches in Hyderabad. Pakistan has to play its first match in the World Cup against Netherlands on 06 October. The warm-up matches before this match have put his team in a very strange situation. After these warm-up matches for Pakistan, there is happiness at some places and sadness at some places.

Strange situation for Pakistan

Before the World Cup, Pakistan played its first warm-up match against New Zealand on 29 September. He played the second match against Australia on 03 October. His team had to face defeat in both these matches. Pakistan got to learn a lot in these matches. It was a matter of happiness for Pakistan that their team captain and star batsman Babaj Azam returned to his form. But apart from this, there is also a matter of sorrow for them.

Pakistan team is known all over the world for its strong bowling. But before the World Cup, his bowling skills have been exposed in front of the whole world. Pakistan’s bowling appeared to be a complete failure in both the warm-up matches. Which is a matter of concern for his team. Especially the form of Haris Rauf. Pakistan’s bowling unit has already suffered a lot after Narim Shah’s injury. In such a situation, his team would not want any bowler to lose his form at this time.
