Pakistan’s current bowlers are unquestionably one of the strongest bowling assaults in all of cricket, and they are widely regarded as a force to be reckoned with. Pakistan‘s bowling arsenal has been talked quite a bit in recent years thanks to top players like Shaheen Shah Afridi and Haris Rauf leading the bowling attack and seasoned players like Hasan Ali providing a helping hand.
In game 12 of the ODI World Cup 2023, the same bowling attack was defeated by the dominating Indian batting. Pakistan’s bowling attack put up a poor showing, which caused them to lose badly to their longtime rivals India.
Former Indian cricketer Ravi Shastri came forth to discuss the same attack and mentioned star bowler Shaheen Shah Afridi . According to Shastri, Shaheen doesn’t require this kind of hype and is not comparable to Wasim Akram. In addition, he called out the whole Men in Green bowling lineup.
“I’ve heard that Pakistan has an impressive bowling attack. It’s not true at all, says the narrator. You must acknowledge that it is bad. Ravi Shastri said on radio, “You don’t have Naseem Shah right now, and you don’t have a decent spin assault.
“Shaheen Shah Afridi is not Wasim Akram,” a statement made by her.
I agree that he bowls with the new ball and gets wickets, but there is no reason to overhype him. If something is okay, you must declare it to be okay. Because this attack is not the best one, there is no need to place excessive importance on them, he continued.

Pakistan’s first defeat as India maintains its unblemished record
Speaking of the match, Pakistan’s top order performed effectively, helping the team to a successful start in Ahmedabad. However, they were bundled out for a pitiful sum of 191 due to the middle order’s collapse.
Indian captain Rohit Sharma produced a fantastic performance, getting 86 runs in 63 deliveries, with the goal of chasing down the score. India won the match by seven wickets thanks to Rohit’s performance, maintaining its perfect record at the ODI World Cup 2023.
