Pakistan captain Sarfaraz Ahmed, who is at the centre of a storm following an embarrassing defeat at the hands of India, has warned his teammates of possible backlash back home if they fail to improve in the forthcoming matches in the ongoing World Cup.

On Sunday, Pakistan were outplayed in all the three departments by India who thrashed them by 89 runs (DLS method) in their World Cup fixture played at the Old Trafford. With just three points from five games, the 1992 champions are languishing at the bottom of the table and their chances of making it to the semifinals are quite slim.
