Pakistan have lost three successive matches to India, Australia and Afghanistan in the ongoing 2023 World Cup and their semifinal hopes are as good as over. Pakistan have only themselves to blame for their timid performances so far in the tournament.

Have Pakistan lost focus?

Instead on focusing on making a strong cricket team, Pakistan Cricket Board has continued to do petty politics. Some of Pakistan's former cricketers have even slammed the establishment for packing the side with players that they like. The team's captain, Babar Azam, is facing significant criticism and his position as captain is under threat. 

On the other hand, Afghanistan have punched above their weight with wins over former champions England and Pakistan. Can they sneak into the semi-finals?

The World Cup is heading toward an exciting business stage and Rajarshi Gupta leads another lively discussion on the latest episode of Sledging Room with Akshay Ramesh and Diya Kakkar.
