India ne marwa diya humein: Shoaib Akhtar on PAK’s chances after IND’s loss to South Africa

Former Pakistan pacer Shoaib Akhtar said on Sunday that India’s performance against South Africa had left him disappointed. If India had defeated South Africa, Pakistan’s tough road to the next round would get a fresh lease of life but due to the defeat, the Men in Green’s chances became very limited.

“India ne marwa diya humein (India have nearly killed our chances) by losing to South Africa. Not India’s fault though, Pakistan played so badly. We left this thing on others. I was wishing and hoping, India would come strong and hard. This shows that when you are against a quality bowling attack, the condition of the subcontinent teams come out in the open,” Akhtar said in his Youtube channel.

The Rawalpindi Express also said that India were exposed in front of South Africa’s lethal pace attack.

“India have been exposed in front of South Africa fast bowling but they were not out and about because they’ll have easier matches now. Pakistan have to face a difficult opponent in South Africa. It still looks difficult and impossible but I am still backing my tea. Let’s see what happens,” he said.
