We’re still not out: Sarfaraz

Pakistan captain Sarfaraz Ahmed insists his team’s World Cup dream is not over yet despite their “hurtful” defeat against bitter rivals India on Sunday.

India thumped Pakistan by 89 runs under the Duckworth-Lewis-Stern method in a rain-curtailed match at Old Trafford.

The loss leaves Pakistan with just three points from five games. They are lying ninth, just above minnows Afghanistan, in the 10-team table.

“The defeat against India hurts,” Sarfaraz said after Pakistan’s seventh defeat in as many World Cup matches against India.

“Naturally when you lose like this, your morale goes down but we have to lift ourselves because we are still not out of the World Cup and have to win all our four remaining matches.”
