او مریم نواز اور پرنس جاسم کی اولاد 96,99,03,07,11,15 میں تیرا کون سا باپ وزیر اعظم تھاWest Indies inflicted a heavy seven-wicket defeat on Pakistan in their opening fixture of the 2019 World Cup at Trent Bridge in Nottingham on Friday.
The Calypso Kings chased down the measly 106-run target set by the Champions Trophy winners for the loss of just three wickets in the 14th over.
The Caribbean side lost their first wicket when Shai Hope (11) was caught by Mohammad Hafeez off Mohammad Amir, who also took the wicket of Darren Bravo, caught by Babar Azam at second slip without scoring any runs.
West Indies' third player was lost when Chris Gayle was caught by Shadab Khan off Amir, once again.
Earlier, West Indies, after winning the toss and opting to field first, produced a ruthless display of fast bowling to dismiss Pakistan for a disappointing 105.
Having elected to field after winning the toss, West Indies made full use of overcast conditions as Oshane Thomas took four wickets for 27 runs, while captain Jason Holder (3-42) and the returning Andre Russell (2-4) completed the demolition job.
The in-form Fakhar Zaman and Babar Azam got off to solid starts but were both dismissed for 22, sparking a middle-order collapse that the former champions did not recover from.
Pakistan were bowled out in 21.4 overs for their lowest World Cup total since a paltry 74 against England at Adelaide in 1992, the year Imran Khan's team went on to lift their only 50-overs crown.
The green shirts lost their fourth wicket at the start of the 14th over, when Babar Azam was caught out after scoring 22 runs. Wickets then fell in succession, with captain Sarfaraz Ahmed, Imad Wasim, Shadab Khan, Hasan Ali and Mohammad Hafeez all going back to the pavilion.
Wahab Riaz's 11-ball 18 runs could not do much to salvage his side's score and he was bowled out on the fourth ball of the 22nd over.
At the end of 10 overs, Pakistan had put 45 runs on the scoreboard for the loss of three wickets.
Andre Russell took the wickets of Haris Sohail and Fakhar Zaman while Sheldon Cottrell picked up the wicket of opener Imamul Haq.
Thomas was named the player of the match for his figures of 27-4.

Aliraza moron has not been following Pakistan cricket. Pakistan cricket team has always been unpredictable.Sometimes it plays good cricket but many times its performance is rubbish.The standard of cricket in Pakistan went down due to corruption,nepotism and lack of a proper system.Other countries have a professional setup ie good bowling and batting coaches,analysts,biomechanics experts etc .They also have good first class structure.
اسی لیے تو کہہ رہا ہوں کہ ٹیم کو زوال پذیر کرنے کے جواب میں نیازی جی پر ایک لعنت ہو جائے؟
The team was losing when Khan was not in power.When he was captain Pakistan won series in India and England for the first time.Pakistan also won the world cup when he was captain.

Pakistan has their Head Coach, a Batting Coach, a Bowling Coach, and a Fielding Coach It's their job to prepare them for the conditions of the pitch and the match. I haven't seen our bowlers to bowl yorkers, they cannot bowl bouncers properly, as if they just know to throw the ball at the batsman. Then the batsmen, they are the biggest FUCKKKERS in the team, not adapting to the match condition. Then comes the fielding, I don't even want to discuss that.
Now all of the shortcomings are to be sorted out by the coaching staff. This staff is a tenured position, and they are paid heavily to do their job. I guess you know that but just to put the blame to somewhere else you are opting to do this mockery.
Remember, our beloved team lost to Zimbabwe that too in a test match, who was the in the govt. then. Ireland trashed us in 2007, who was the PM then. There are so many bad examples you can count.
