Sarfaraz Ahmed confident Pakistan can bounce back from humiliating defeat against West Indies

PAKISTAN’S batting collapse against the West Indies left captain Sarfaraz Ahmed “disappointed” but he was adamant they would “bounce back.”

West Indies bowling left Pakistan on the back foot from the off and before they knew it, Ahmed’s side had collapsed in spectacular fashion — 105 all out.

The chase for the West Indies was simple and when Chris Gayle took to the crease, he ensured victory — a 33-ball 50 which included back-to-back sixes which took the evergreen opener past AB De Villiers’ record for the most sixes hit in the tournament’s history.
