ODI World Cup 2023: Flop XI of second week

11. Haris Rauf

Pakistan’s victory campaign derailed after their humiliating seven-wicket defeat at the hands of their arch-rivals India at the Narendra Modi Stadium. In this game, their unprecedented batting collapse restricted them to 191 runs in 42.5 overs. The Men in Green failed to defend the low score as Rohit Sharma and Shreyas Iyer came heavily on the bowlers.

Haris Rauf, the mainstay Pakistan speedster, struggled against Rohit. The pace sensation bowled 11 deliveries to the India skipper and got hit for 25 runs with three maximums. In his six-over spell, he splurged 43 runs at a horrendous economy of 7.17. 

There weren’t enough runs on the board to defend for the bowlers but Rauf enjoys the image of being a paceman, who is known for providing breakthroughs in difficult conditions. However, he went back wicketless in this high-octane game and received a lot of criticism for his flop show.
