Pathetic batting pains Misbah

Pakistan skipper Misbah-ul-Haq is baffled by the batting failure of his side, which is struggling to stay alive in the Champions Trophy after two successive defeats.
Pakistan lost by 67 runs to South Africa today and now face arch-rivals India in the must-win contest on Saturday. Pakistan now must beat India and pray that results of some other matches go in their favour.
Chasing 235, Pakistan today were all out for 167.
"It was a gettable total but batting failed. The batsmen were in good form in the practice games but I don't know what has happened. The pitch was a little slow, but we could have chased it," Misbah said after the defeat.

"It was a good bowling effort, 234 was getable. It was simple, you needed 4.5 runs an over. We could not knock it around. The 15 overs were poor and in the middle overs we did not rotate (strike). But still it was bat-able, we should have chased," he added.
The Pakistan skipper, who top scored for his side with a 55-run knock, wanted his players to "forget about these two games before meeting India.
