There is no thought that the Pakistani pace of the attack that once terrorized the crisis world has lost sharpness. Pakistani fast bowlers, who have dominated for years, no longer carry the same intimidation factor, and Sanja Manjrekar admitted that their greatest strength has now faded.
It was visible during a humiliating loss of 60 run in Pakistan from New Zealand in the open-air opening of ICC in Karachi, where the hosts had a great start, but later their bowlers were able to restrain the flow of running, even outsmarted to surpass the dough .

The commentator believes that the attack on the bowling of Pakistan is so weak in the Tempo and Spin department, so if they want to return to the current ICC Champions Trophy 2025, the dough must enhance and help them post great sums to have any chance of tournament.
Manjrekar further explained: “So all the tricks he had was not the same without speed in the air. Haris Rauf had a pace, but he was unable to lead an attack as Jasprit Bumrah with his fast bowling. Bowling in shape. Shah and Shaheen Shah Afidi saw better days. “

Of the 28 matches they played together through Odis -ai T20I, Pakistan managed to win only 14 in Odis, their combination did not always give the expected results, as Pakistan suffered four defeats, including two major losses in the 2023 Asian Cup. India and in the current champion trophy 2025 against New Zealand.
