Dawn · Pakistan · Pakistan bowled out for 114 against Bangladesh, their lowest ever total in bilateral ODIs
Dawn's cricket desk contextualises the result within a systemic problem: Pakistan have lost six of their last eight ODIs, the batting average against pace in Asian conditions has fallen below 25 in the last 12 months, and the team's selectors have not settled on a first-choice XI since the World Cup squad was announced. Notes that Saqib Mahmood (England) took 3/33 in the parallel India-England T20I in Durham on the same day, a coincidental highlight for Pakistan-born English players outperforming Pakistan itself.
“Dawn: Pakistan's 114 all out is a symptom of systemic batting collapse, not a one-off.”
