Sarfaraz Ahmed talked about India's loss to England as the team returned to Pakistan after their 2019 World Cup campaign.
Pakistan failed to make the semi-finals of the 50-over showpiece despite having same points as the fourth qualified team, New Zealand, having lost out on the basis of the net run-rate.
Top four teams qualified for the semifinals and Pakistan (-0.43) finished at number five with 11 points, tied with New Zealand (0.175), but were beaten on Net-Run-Rate (NRR) by the Kiwis.
Pakistan need to bat first, score 400 runs, dismiss Bangladesh for 84, and win by a margin of 316 runs but if they bat second, their chances of qualifying for the semi-finals will be none.
There were contributions from Babar (45) and Imam(36) at the top order while chasing a modest 228 but it required a special innings from Imad Wasim, who took the side to finish line.
