Pakistan has suffered a shameful defeat in the Multan Test. England defeated Pakistan by an innings and 47 runs. In this way, Pakistan has become the first team to lose by innings after scoring more than 500 runs in the first innings. In the match in which Pakistan's intention was only to get a draw, England won in just two sessions. With this, the wait for Pakistan's victory at home became even longer. This is the 11th consecutive Test match played in Pakistan, in which the host team has not been able to win. It has been more than three and a half years. The question is, why did Pakistan meet such a fate in the Multan Test?

From the result of Multan Test, it can be estimated how poorly Pakistan's Test team is playing at the moment. The way the batsmen, who had scored more than five hundred runs in the first innings, kneeled down in the second innings, they are being criticized from all sides. Overall, this is a dark day in the history of Pakistan cricket. First Bangladesh and now England have washed it at home. Let us tell you what are those 5 reasons, due to which Pakistan's fleet was destroyed.

Pakistan's conspiracy came to light

As soon as the match started, England understood what conspiracy the Pakistan team had hatched. Pakistan's strategy was to make a flat wicket and bat with the intention of drawing the match. After this, England showed great courage to give a befitting reply to the Pakistan team in Multan. On the basis of this courage, the English team foiled Pakistan's conspiracy. The England team batted like ODI in Test cricket and added more than 800 runs by batting at a run rate of more than 5. Pakistan had no idea that there would be such a counterattack. Therefore, after Bangladesh, it also had to face defeat at home against England. England had also won 3-0 in the last Pakistan tour.

Pakistan was not ready for 'counter attack'

In the Multan Test, Pakistan had scored 556 runs in the first innings. Pakistan had no idea that the England team would break its illusion. Pakistan team felt that after scoring 556 runs, they would not lose the match. But England made a score of 823 in the first innings. He scored runs at a run rate of 5.48. Joe Root scored a double century. Harry Brook scored a triple century. Harry Brook scored the second fastest triple century in the history of Test cricket. Pakistan had no idea that the English team would counter attack like this. The Pakistan team was assuming that the pressure of 556 runs would be enough to disintegrate the English team. But exactly the opposite happened.

England got the way from Kanpur test

To win the Multan Test, the England team adopted a formula similar to that which the Indian team had recently adopted against Bangladesh in the Kanpur Test. This became the third reason for victory. In fact, more than two days of the Kanpur Test were lost due to rain. Despite this, the Indian team batted aggressively and asked Bangladesh to bat in the second innings. England did something similar. England made Pakistan bat on the fourth day of the Multan Test match. Due to a lead of more than 250 runs, Pakistan's batsmen faltered badly in the second innings. Captain Shan Masood, who scored a century in the first innings, was out in the second innings after scoring only 11 runs. Apart from this, experienced batsman Babar Azam did not reach double figures. Babar failed in both the innings of Multan Test. The big thing is that Pakistan surrendered in the second innings on a pitch where batting was not difficult at all.

The ghost of 267 runs haunts Pakistan

The fourth reason for Pakistan's defeat in the Multan Test was England's lead of 267 runs in the first innings. This is because this lead on a lifeless pitch acted as psychological pressure on the players. This was the reason why Pakistan's batsmen surrendered in the second innings in the Multan Test. Surprisingly, in the second innings, six batsmen returned to the pavilion before reaching 100 runs. Pakistan's opener Abdullah Shafiq was out without opening the account. He had scored a century in the last innings. Apart from this, Saib Ayub-25, Saud Shakeel-29 and Rizwan-10 were out after scoring 10 runs. These players surrendered in front of the bowlers even on a breathless pitch. Abrar Ahmed was injured so he did not come to bat in the second innings.

The plan to get praise by scoring runs also failed

In the Multan Test, Pakistan's planning in which it had planned to praise its century-winners by drawing the match was also ruined. Actually, Abdullah Shafiq, captain Shan Masood and Salman Agha had scored centuries for Pakistan in the first innings. Despite this, today no one is discussing his centuries in Pakistan. However, people are angry with the fact that Pakistani players play for personal milestones.
