Christchurch: Pakistan’s World Cup campaign needed improvement across the board, captain Misbah-ul-Haq declared Saturday after a humiliating 150-run loss to the West Indies.“It’s a do or die situation for us and there are no ifs and buts,” Misbah said as he tried to look ahead to Pakistan’s next game against Zimbabwe, while sifting through the wreckage of Saturday’s crushing loss.
“We just lost in all three departments. We couldn’t bowl well, a lot of dropped catches, and the batting totally flopped.”“We need to pick up ourselves up and come hard in the next game because now we're at the edge,” Misbah said.
“We have to forget the last two matches and learn from our mistakes. We can only win if we perform.”Misbah said Pakistan’s problems against the West Indies began from the moment he won the toss and opted to use bowler-friendly conditions, with overcast skies and a hint of moisture on the pitch. “But we couldn’t take enough wickets up front. We only took one or two,” he said.
