Pakistan has played 5 matches so far in the ICC World Cup Tournament. Among those 5 matches, they have won two matches. They somehow lack their bowling prowess which was supposed to be the best of this World Cup. But their losses only express that their bowling unit has failed to make such an impact in the matches. So we are going to take a closer look at the Pakistani bowlers who have conceded the most runs in the tournament until the 25th match.

The fast and furious Haris Rauf, who has been known for his ability to rattle batsmen with pace and bounce, found himself on the expensive side in one particular match against Australia. Bowling eight overs, he conceded 83 runs without taking a wicket. This performance came on the 20th of October in a match held in Bengaluru. Despite the tough outing, Haris Rauf remains a valuable asset for Pakistan, capable of producing match-winning spells.

Usama Mir, a leg-spinning all-rounder, was another bowler who had a tough outing against Australia. He bowled nine overs and conceded 82 runs without picking up a wicket. Usama Mir’s performance also came on the same day as Haris Rauf’s, during the match in Bengaluru. While this performance was a challenging one, Usama Mir has the potential to turn things around with his variations and skills as the tournament progresses.

In a match against Sri Lanka held in Hyderabad on the 10th of October, Hasan Ali, one of Pakistan’s premier fast bowlers, had a rather expensive outing. Despite taking four wickets, he conceded 71 runs in his ten-over spell. While he managed to make an impact with the ball by taking crucial wickets, Hasan Ali would be looking to tighten up his economy rate in upcoming matches.

The tall and lanky Shaheen Shah Afridi, who is often touted as the future of Pakistan’s fast-bowling, had a challenging game against Sri Lanka in the same match in Hyderabad on the 10th of October. Bowling nine overs, he conceded 66 runs while picking up a solitary wicket. Despite this performance, Shaheen’s ability to swing the ball and his consistent pace make him a valuable asset for Pakistan in the long run.

Mohammad Nawaz, a left-arm spinning all-rounder, also had a game to forget against Sri Lanka in Hyderabad. Bowling nine overs, he conceded 62 runs and managed to take just one wicket. While he struggled in this particular match, Nawaz’s all-round abilities make him a valuable addition to the team, offering depth in both batting and bowling departments.
It’s crucial to acknowledge that these bowlers have also played significant roles in winning matches for Pakistan during the tournament. They’ve taken crucial wickets in other matches and have contributed to Pakistan’s overall campaign in the World Cup. Let’s see what will unfold in the upcoming matches of the tournament.
