Pakistan bow out of Cricket world cup 2019

Pakistani team coming home as their campaign ended on friday, 5th july 2019With fifth place on the points table, under New Zealand.Their hopes ended on a high with a 94-run victory against Bangladesh at Lord’s,

Pakistan won the toss and finished on 315-9 in 50 overs, Shaheen Afridi, the youngest to take a five-for at a world cup, named player of the match, flashily took six wickets, giving up just 36 runs — the best figures for a Pakistan bowler in the competition’s history.
“I’m happy for this performance. It’s a special feeling for me, my family, for all of Pakistan. The wicket was slow. The first innings Mustafizur bowled well using cutters and I thought I would use cutters,” said the teenage fast bowler in a post-match speech.

Earlier in the match, opener Imamul Haq scored 100 on 100 deliveries became the youngest Pakistani ever to make a World Cup ton.Babar Azam hit 96 on 98 deliveries as they set the Bangladeshis a target of 316 runs. Where as Bangladesh’s Shakib scored his seventh half-century of the tournament. Which made Shakib the highest-scoring batsman of the tournament with 606 runs.

Pakistan needed to dismiss Bangladesh in their last group-stage match for an improbable seven runs or less to overtake fourth-place New Zealand and reach the semifinals. Sarfaraz said although Pakistan’s first-game loss to the West Indies was “disappointing”, “we want to finish on a high note.”

Pakistan could not take 4th position in tournament because of the net run rate of +0.175 that New Zealand built up in their nine games which significantly better than Pakistan’s -0.430.
New Zealand joined Australia, India and England in the last four
