Karachi: Former Pakistan cricket captain Rashid Latif has criticized the national team’s batting performance following their loss to New Zealand in the second ODI.
Pakistan’s defeat in the T20 series was followed by another failure in the One Day series, as New Zealand triumphed by 84 runs, taking a decisive 2-1 lead in the series.
Latif pointed out that Pakistan struggles on pitches that offer swing and bounce, and this is a consistent issue with their batting performance.
He also remarked on the inability of the team’s batters to deal with deliveries above the waistline, which has become a major obstacle in modern white-ball cricket. This critique comes amidst growing concerns about Pakistan’s performance in international cricket.
