Renowned cricket commentator David Lloyd has admitted that he was extremely disappointed with the way in which Pakistan performed in their World Cup opener against the West Indies.
Pakistan were skittled out for 105 after being put in to bat first and the West Indies proceeded to win the match by seven wickets with 218 balls to spare.
Fakhar Zaman and Babar Azam were the top scorers as they both made 22 runs, while Wahab Riaz chipped in with a quickfire 18 at the end.
Mohammad Hafeez was the only other batsman to reach double figures as he made 16.
Given Pakistan’s dismal performance against the West Indies, Lloyd conceded that the men in green have lost that unpredictability factor they once had.
