Major Blow To Pakistan's World Test Championship Final Hopes After Loss To England

By IANS News December 06, 2022 • 11:31 AM View: 1051

Pakistan's 74-run loss to Ben Stokes' England in the opening Test here on Monday has severely jeopardised the hosts' chances of securing a World Test Championship (WTC) final berth.

Pakistan were placed fifth in the ICC World Test Championship standings, but had a realistic chance of making the final because of the five home Tests against England and New Zealand. However, a below-par performance on the final day at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium saw them lose their position of strength.
