They are a decent team but bowling has been extremely weak: Aakash Chopra on Pakistan team ahead of Bangladesh clash in 2023 World Cup
Former Indian batter Aakash Chopra recently previewed the 2023 World Cup match between Pakistan and Bangladesh. He opined that the Babar Azam-led side have performed decently in the batting department so far, but the bowlers failed to complement their efforts.
In a video shared on his YouTube channel, Chopra said (6:30):
"The openers have started scoring runs. Babar Azam has also scored runs. Mohammad Rizwan had also scored runs, the wagon has fallen off track a little, or else he was in the highest run-getters list. Iftikhar Ahmed and Saud Shakeel have also scored runs."
On the areas of concern for the Pakistan team, Chopra added:
"They are a decent team but bowling has been extremely weak. Shaheen is still a wicket-taker, he picked up a five-wicket haul as well, but who apart from him? Haris Rauf is not bowling that well. Mohammad Wasim was played in the last match and he bowled decently. Spin is going extremely ordinary."
