ICC Champions Trophy 2017: Sri Lanka vs Pakistan, 5 Talking Points

#4 The great Pakistani collapse

Nuwan Pradeep triggered the collapse

The word collapse has become synonymous with Pakistan. On Monday, in what was another dismal display, they collapsed from 92/1 to 162/7, losing six wickets for just 70 runs. After Fakhar Zaman departed, there was none who could up the ante. Babar Azam (10), Mohammad Hafeez (1), Shoaib Malik (11), Imad Wasim (4) and Fahim Ashraf (15) all fell cheaply and hence accounted for the collapse.

Azhar Ali also departed for 34 runs after consuming 50 deliveries. Nuwan Pradeep picked up two of those six wickets while Lasith Malinga and Thisara Perera contributed to the collapse as well.
