Haris Rauf Angry on Khushdil Shah: New Zealand defeated Pakistan by 60 runs in the first match of the Champions Trophy 2025 played at the National Stadium in Karachi on Wednesday (19 February). After the defeat in this match, Pakistan's batting is in the dock but at the same time some bowlers also bowled very poorly in this match and one of them was fast bowler Haris Rauf.
Haris was the most expensive bowler of Pakistan in this match. He conceded 83 runs in 10 overs at an economy of 8.3 and took two wickets. The Kiwi batsmen were constantly beating Harris and the Pakistani fielders were failing to catch the opportunities that were coming. One such opportunity also came in the 43rd over when Haris Rauf bowled a full length ball on the middle and leg stump, which Latham flicked in the air.
Khushdil Shah, standing at deep backward square leg, was standing a little ahead of the boundary, due to which Pakistan had to suffer and the ball went over him for 6 runs. He was standing 5-7 yards inside the boundary rope, if he had been exactly on the boundary, he could have easily caught the catch but it did not happen.
Haris Rauf was completely irritated by this effort of Khushdil Shah and was also seen saying to him in anger that what did he come to do next. While Mohammad Rizwan also looked angry with Khushdil.
Let us tell you that after losing to New Zealand, Mohammad Rizwan's team went to the bottom of the table in Group A with a net run rate of -1.200. If Pakistan has to qualify for the semi-finals, it will have to win both its remaining matches in the group stage. If they lose even one of their next two matches, Pakistan will need to bring a lot of equations in their favor to make it to the last four.
