Asia Cup 2025: Pakistan Faces Batting Crisis Ahead of Tournament

Pakistan’s performance in the tri-series against the UAE and Afghanistan is causing worry, especially after their defeat to Afghanistan. Afghanistan scored 169 runs, while Pakistan could only score 151. This defeat exposed significant flaws in Pakistan’s batting. The most concerning aspect is the ‘zero’ statistic. Specifically, from the 8th to the 17th over, Pakistan’s batting was dismal, failing to hit a single boundary for 74 balls. This highlights significant concerns about Pakistan’s batting capabilities, especially before the Asia Cup.
