After Pakistan's seven-wicket defeat to arch-rival India in the World Cup, Captain Babar Azam expressed his disappointment with the batting collapse his team faced. Despite promising performances by Babar Azam (50) and Mohammad Riawan (49), Pakistan lost eight wickets for just 36 runs, collapsing from 155/2 to 191 all out. Babar Azam reflected on the match, saying, 'We started well, with a good partnership. We had planned to play our innings steadily and build partnerships. However, we experienced a sudden collapse, and we couldn't finish strongly. It wasn't good for us considering our strong start; our target was 280-290, but our batting collapse cost us. The final total was insufficient, and we struggled initially with the new ball.' Babar also praised India's Rohit Sharma for his outstanding innings and the way he batted in the match. In their chase of Pakistan's total, Indian batters, led by Rohit Sharma and Shreyas Iyer, remained composed and secured a comprehensive victory, maintaining India's perfect World Cup record against Pakistan
