Michael Vaughan weighs in on Pakistan's semi-final prospects

Former England cricketer, Michael Vaughan, has weighed in on Pakistan's chances on reaching the semifinal rounds of the ongoing 2023 Cricket World Cup and offered an unconventional strategy to boost their prospects. 

"We have all watched Pakistan, when you give them a little sniff, just a little sniff, they are very very good at going for something," Vaughan said.

On the otherhand, the former cricketer's advice took an unexpected turn as he suggested a rather unorthodox approach.

"What they need to do is the day before the World Cup, sack everyone. Just cause a load of chaos, for the sake of it, and they will win every game," he said. 

The 49-year-old also took to his social media platform 'X' to voice his desire for an India-Pakistan semi-final showdown in the ongoing tournament.

"India v Pakistan Semi in Kolkata anyone #CWC23," Vaughan wrote.

He also expressed his belief that the Men in Green have reentered contention for a spot in the semi-finals.

"Pakistan are back in the race for the semis … #Pakistan #CWC23," Vaughan wrote.
