Wasim Akram Slams Pakistan Batting After India Loss
Former Pakistan captain and legendary fast bowler Wasim Akram lashed out after Pakistan’s defeat to India in the Asia Cup 2025 Super Four match. He said it has become “tough to watch Pakistan bat,” stressing that India has dominated Pakistan in all aspects of the game over the last four to five years.

Akram pointed out that while Pakistan occasionally produces good performances, they are inconsistent and rare. He added that mistakes like dropping a catch may happen in cricket, but the bigger issue lies in the lack of consistent batting partnerships and the inability to handle pressure in crucial games.
Broader Implications for Pakistan Cricket
The defeat and Akram’s strong words have once again brought Pakistan’s fragile batting under the spotlight. Experts have highlighted recurring middle-order collapses, poor strike rotation, and failure to build on good starts. Akram’s remarks underline the urgency for Pakistan to rethink its batting strategy and strengthen its core if it hopes to compete effectively against top-tier teams like India.
