Pakistan
On the other hand, Pakistan still has some issues despite winning their opening game in the World Cup. The Pakistani top-order, especially, Babar Azam has failed to fire so far in the tournament. But others around him have performed well with Mohammed Rizwan leading the charge with a half-century and an impressive ton. Whereas in the bowling department, Pakistan seems low on firepower with Shaheen Afridi seeming out of form which seems to be the case with the spinners.
