Babar Azam’s century provides crumb of comfort to Pakistan following defeat by Afghanistan

By Cricketnmore Editorial May 25, 2019 • 11:45 AM View: 1925

May 25 (CRICKETNMORE) - Pakistan are more than accustomed to being viewed as outsiders coming into global tournaments. It is a position they have previously used to their advantage, with Sarfaraz Ahmed’s side upsetting the odds only two years ago to lift the ICC Champions Trophy on English soil.

And despite that triumph, which included a stunning 180-run win over fierce rivals India in the final, expectations have been tempered once again ahead of the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup 2019.
