Cricket Poll: What went so wrong for Pakistan in the Semi-finals?
It’s been two days and everyone is still talking about it. While Pakistanis are proud of the fabulous run made by their boys in green at the cricket World Cup 2011, they are also devastated at Team Pakistan’s poor performance in their semi-final match against India.
Pakistan supporters had become increasingly confident of the green shirts chances as the competition played out. Before Pakistan beat the Aussies to nab the number one spot in their group, a NewslineMagazine.com poll showed 49% of voters believed Pakistan could make it to the finals and win it all. After the win against the defending World Cup champions, that number started to rise. And after the crushing win over the West Indies in the quarterfinals, the number rose further with 70% believing Pakistan would bring the cup home.
It is hard to pin the semi-final loss against their arch-rivals on any one aspect: so much went wrong.
What is your take on Pakistan’s loss?
