I was also in that 99% of people who lose hope, at the first when I saw the target cross over 400 I lost hope it was the first one in this match. And after the Pakistan inning start and when I saw the first wicked drop it was the second time I lost hope in the team. But that wicket is become good for the Pakistan team. When Fakhar Zaman started beating and the way he hit the balls I regained my hope that if they went the same through the same and did not drop any wickets then winning the match was confirmed. Baber also played well he stood on the wicket and saved it if one of them got out then they did not win this match but yeah we have another amazing player M. Rizwan who is also a skipper.
Now, everyone can say that they might have won this game by chasing 400+ runs, but I think Pakistan would not have a chance if they played complete 50 overs. Against Australia, they were doing great, and then they suddenly collapsed and lost the match. 400 is an impossible target anywhere in the World.
Credit goes to Pakistan for how they paced their inning. Fakhar was exceptional, and Babar played a captain inning, continuously rotating strike. Initially, when Fakhar was under pressure, he scored a few boundaries and eased him a bit, and the rest is history.
In the other match, Australia comfortably won the match against England. As everyone expected, England's batters lost their wickets at regular intervals, and none of their batsmen stood up to the challenge of chasing this total. They added valuable runs at the end, but they were not enough to get them over the line. With this loss, England's future in the Champion Trophy 2025 looks gloomy. They have to win their remaining couple of matches to have a shot at qualification.
