Pakistan face a must-win scenario on Saturday as they tackle England of their last group match of the Cricket World Cup on the Eden Gardens in Kolkata. Pakistan not solely need to beat England, but in addition need to be sure that they topple New Zealand on Net Run-Rate (NRR) to qualify for the semi-finals. While Pakistan’s semi-final hopes hold by a thread, former India batter Virender Sehwag has taken a brutal dig on the Babar Azam-led pacers.

After a Pakistan fan acknowledged that their bowlers had troubled Sehwag on a number of events, an Indian got here to Sehwag’s protection, claiming that the previous opener had a median of 91 in opposition to the Pakistan pacers.

Sehwag too joined the dialog and schooled the Pakistan fan, claiming that after legendary pacer Wasim Akram‘s retirement, their bowling assault wasn’t good for him.

“Nahi yaar, Wasim bhai ke retirement ke baad jaise yeh thhey , 200 ki avg honi chahiye tha inke saath. But jo bhi ho , tab bhi aur ab bhi Inke Mazzey lene mein maza aata hai,” Sehwag tweeted.
