ICC World Cup 2019: Twitter Reacts as Windies Skittles Pakistan For 105

Pakistan could only score 105 runs after Windies skipper Jason Holder won the toss and decided to make the most of gloomy conditions at Trent Bridge, Nottingham against Pakistan in the second match of the ICC World Cup 2019. The West Indies made good use of the conditions and tested Pakistan batsman with short stuff.

Pakistan got off to a worse possible start as Imam-ul-Haq was dismissed by Sheldon Cottrell. The left-hander was caught behind off an innocuous delivery down the leg side as he scored only two from 11 deliveries.

Pakistan was tested by the short stuff.

Fakhar Zaman was the next to go as the southpaw got an inside edge back onto the stumps while trying to pull against Andre Russell. Harris Sohail could not judge the short delivery against Russell and Shai Hope had another catch to his bag.

Subsequently, the onus was on Babar Azam and skipper Sarfraz Ahmed. In fact, Azam had the rub off the green on his side as he was dropped by Shimron Hetmyer at the point region. However, Azam who has the best technique could not make the most of his second chance as he threw his hands at the ball and got an outside edge which was taken by the Windies gloveman.

Furthermore, Sarfraz Ahmed was dismissed in a similar fashion as Imam-ul-Haq as the Pakistan skipper could a glove to Shai Hope.

Moreover, Shadab Khan was also plumbed in front by Oshane Thomas. Hasan Ali tried to go for the big shot against Holder but gave a simple catch to Sheldon Cottrell at mid-off. Mohammed Hafeez’s stay at the crease was put paid by another bouncer from Oshane Thomas with Cottrell taking a simple catch.

Dear Pakistan, quickly work on your back foot play…the world is watching…you will get nothing to drive this WC.

Fringe benefits of the IPL. Many Indian fans would be reveling in Andre Russell’s performance today. Of course, as long as it’s not coming against India.?#ICCWC2019 #KKR

when pakistan won the world cup in 1992, they started the tournament with a 10 wicket loss to west indies #WIvPAK #CWC19

Pakistan's technique getting exposed on a spicy pitch. This is the same ground where two 450 plus scores have been registered in the last three years. Just goes to show, how big a part conditions play in England. Beware India. #ICCWorldCup

Speechless.

See Pakistan are doing well…the sort of start that makes you think they're bound to win the World Cup

— Chris Stocks (@StocksC_cricket) May 31, 2019

Shockingly inept batting by Pakistan…

— Cricketwallah (@cricketwallah) May 31, 2019

Oh this is getting ugly… Only 17 overs bowled. At this rate, Pakistan won't survive half their overs. #CWC19

A message from a friend – "it's ok we lost our first match to the West Indies at the 1992 World Cup and you know what happened there" ? #CWC19 #PAKvWI

Pak top order in a shambles. Worthwhile recovery from here looks far-fetched. West Indies starting their campaign with gusto #ICCWorldCup2019

— Cricketwallah (@cricketwallah) May 31, 2019

Pakistan in disarray here… 78 for 6, flapping and flailing against the short ball #CWC19

— Rob Johnston (@RobJ_Cricket) May 31, 2019

A Pakistan collapse. #TheyHaveTheyWill

— Vinayakk (@vinayakkm) May 31, 2019

Pakistan's last innings in a World Cup match in England was 132 all out against Australia. They have started from where they left 20 years ago. #WeHaveWeWill

Did anyone tell Pakistan it’s a 50-over tournament?! #PAKvWI #CWC19

Pakistan!!!!!! They are sitting ducks to short/back of a length bowling #PAKvWI

More sarcastic shouts from Pakistani fans here at Trent Bridge "come on boys let's at least reach 100" #CWC19 #PAKvWI

this is embarrassing stuff from Pakistan. #WIvPAK

— Gautam Sodhi (@GautamSodhi1) May 31, 2019

Two #Pak batsmen caught behind down the leg side…their batting giving the overcast conditions a serious run for its money. Glooomy. #CWC19 #PakvWI
