Description
The World Cup has livened up in India. After India's dominant win over Pakistan in Ahmedabad, Afghanistan lit up Delhi by stunning England, the defending champions. India made it 8-0 against Pakistan in World Cups, highlighting the widening gulf in class between the two sides. Ahmedabad put on a splendid show with a packed house of 1,30,000 people but Pakistan failed to live up to expectations, falling to a crushing 7-wicket defeat. Pakistan's performance in the match was underwhelming, failing to meet expectations. Their inability to secure even a single victory against India in World Cup matches since 1992 was glaringly evident. The team's strategy and planning were called into question, particularly in light of Mickey Arthur's post-match comments. Arthur, the team director, expressed his disappointment, stating that the match felt more like a BCCI event rather than an ICC one.His remarks sparked controversy and drew criticism from former Pakistan captain Wasim Akram, who blasted Arthur for his comments.And, the crowd behaviour in Ahmedabad was in the spotlight. Did the passionate fans deserve scrutiny? Are Afghanistan now smelling a top 4 finish? Well with their potent spin arsenal, it's not right to rule them out. They will play New Zealand and Pakistan in Chennai on spin-friendly surfaces in their next two games. In the latest episode of the Sledging Room, Rajarshi Gupta has been joined by Akshay Ramesh and Saurabh Kumar as they discuss the incredible matches over the weekend. Tune in!Produced, Sound Mix By- Kapil & Sachin
