Shakeel said, “When you have a crowd you get support. We did not get that and it is not in our hands.”
Despite their eighth defeat in eight World Cup encounters with their arch-rivals, Pakistan are still in good shape in the tournament after wins over the Netherlands and Sri Lanka.
Middle-order batsman Shakeel scored 68 runs against the Netherlands before scoring 31 runs in the match with Sri Lanka. He was out for just six runs against India.
Next up for Pakistan is another high-profile duel, this time with five-time champions Australia in Bengaluru on Friday.
Shakeel said, “We have to overcome the mistakes we made in the last game. That match is gone. If we win against Australia, our position will be better.”
