With just one win from five games in the tournament, Pakistan will in all likelihood need to win every one of their remaining group matches to qualify for the semi-finals. Some ordinary displays from Sarfaraz Ahmed’s side have included a seven-wicket hammering against West Indies in their opening match and being outclassed by rivals India at Old Trafford.

As a result, the team and their captain have been targeted by some supporters on social media , while footage of one fan confronting Sarfaraz was circulated.

Wahab accepts that Pakistan have performed poorly, but the fast bowler says fans should not cross the line.

Admitting that Pakistan dstruggled to deal with pressure against India, Wahab wants Pakistan to focus on improving the smaller areas of their game.

“It was a pressure game and every player feels it. But we didn’t play as well as we can. We didn’t play as good as we are. And we need to play better. We were in very good positions with our batting against Australia and then we gave it away. We did the same against India. We will need to do the small things better and we need to be in control of those. We need to play our A game throughout.”
