Cricket World Cup: Overall inconsistency and gaps in the batting and bowling unit were the reasons for the Pakistan team's below-par performance in the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup 2023.

Pakistan lost four matches in a row starting with a debacle against archrivals India. Though they fought their way back into semifinal contention, they ended their campaign with a 93-run defeat to England to eventually finish fifth in the competition.

After the defeat to England in which Pakistan conceded 337/9 in 50 overs with two of their bowlers giving away 70+ runs in their 10 overs. In reply, their batters could manage only 244 before being all out in 43.3 overs with only Agha Salman scoring a half-century.
