ENG vs PAK: Abdul Razzaq Makes Bizarre Statement On India-Pakistan Rivalry

Former Pakistan cricketer Abdul Razzaq makes a scathing and unfiltered statement about the India-Pakistan rivalry. He talked about how the Indian team used to run away from playing against Pakistan because Pakistan used to dominate them and defeat them one-sided.

He said that India was afraid 0f Pakistan during his time and that they would refrain from playing matches against Pakistan. This remark made by Abdul Razzaq is very bizarre in terms of World Cup cricket since Pakistan has never defeated India in ODI World Cup matches.

In the ongoing ICC Cricket World Cup 2023, India defeated Pakistan in the match that was played at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. India easily chased down a meager target of 192 with seven wickets to spare and extended the unbeaten streak against Pakistan to 8-0.

Abdul Razzaq said, “When I used to play cricket, India were afraid of Pakistan. They were so timid that they ran away and refused to play against Pakistan because we used to dominate them and defeat them in one-sided matches.”

Pakistan Is Fighting For The Fourth Spot In The World Cup 2023

Looking at the current situation, India has already sealed the first spot and has booked a place in the semi-finals while Pakistan is still fighting for the fourth spot and their chances for qualifications are slim. However, looking at the overall record of Pakistan against India, they have had the upper hand against India. Pakistan have won 12 test matches against India while India has won only 9, while in ODIs Pakistan has 73 wins against India, and India has tasted victory in 57 games.

T20Is is the only format where India has sown clear domination against Pakistan where the Men In Blue have 9 wins and Pakistan only have 3 wins against India. In ICC World Cup events Pakistan has only defeated India once in the ICC T20 World Cup 2021. The India-Pakistan rivalry has given a lot of scintillating moments to World Cricket and it is considered one of the greatest spectacles in sports history.

Pakistan will face England next in the World Cup and they will have to win the match by a huge margin or expect New Zealand to lose their match against Sri Lanka to qualify for the Semi-Finals. Pakistan have got back to winning ways as they have won their previous two games after losing four on the trot.
