The victory against Bangladesh in the 31st match of the World Cup 2023 on Tuesday has filled new energy within the Pakistan team. Babar Azam and Company are beginning to have hopes of reaching the semi-finals. After losing four consecutive matches, the Pakistan team was completely broken. But after the victory against Bangladesh, the confidence in Babar’s army must have increased. Pakistan team got huge support from the audience in Kolkata. Indian spectators were also seen supporting the Pakistani team.
Babar Azam Eden Gardens echoed with the slogan of ‘Kokhon Bat Korbe’
During the Pakistan vs Bangladesh match, the Eden Gardens ground echoed with the slogan of Babar Azam ‘Kokhon Bat Korbe’ (When will Babar Azam come to bat). A good number of spectators were seen in the Pakistan vs Bangladesh match in India’s second largest stadium. This match was played among about 30 thousand spectators. Even when Fakhar Zaman was hitting sixes, the entire stadium was echoing with the slogans of Babar Azam in Eden Gardens. It doesn’t matter that India was not playing. Babar Sena will never forget the support that Pakistan team got in Kolkata.
Amidst the disappointing World Cup campaign and the ongoing turmoil within the PCB at home, Babar Sena was waiting for such support.
The sword hanging over Babar Azam’s captaincy
There was an earthquake in Pakistan after the crushing defeat against India in the World Cup. The entire Babar army started being criticized. After losing four consecutive matches, allegations started being leveled against each and every player of Pakistan cricket team. PCB Chairman Captain Babar Azam allegedly started not picking up calls. News came that PCB leaked Babar Azam’s WhatsApp chat. The situation became such that former Pakistan cricketer Inzamamul Haq resigned from the post of chief selector. Babar Azam’s captaincy is also in danger. There is news that if Pakistan team is eliminated from the league stage in the World Cup, then Babar may have to lose the captaincy.
Pakistan’s hopes alive after victory over Bangladesh
After registering a 7-wicket win against Bangladesh, Pakistan team’s hopes of reaching the semi-finals have increased. After three wins in 7 matches, Pakistan has 6 points and Babar Sena has reached fifth position in the points table. He is yet to play matches against New Zealand and England. If the Pak team defeats both the teams, then the chances of reaching the semi-finals will increase.
