Pakistan are in a perilous situation in this tournament. After their historic World Cup run chase against Sri Lanka in Hyderabad, the Babar Azam-led team faced solid hammerings from India, Australia, and Afghanistan, and currently, they are on a backfoot with two wins and three losses in five matches.

Critics aren’t hesitating in attacking Babar Azam and his team for failing in all departments of the game and witnessing all these developments, it’s important for the Green Army to make a comeback in the tournament and qualify for the semi-final. After their eight-wicket defeat at the hands of Afghanistan, critics came heavily on Pakistan’s horrendous fielding show.

In the crucial contest against the Afghan side, Pakistan’s sloppy fielding irked their coach Mickey Arthur, and cricketing legends Wasim Akram and Moin Khan as well. Wasim also questioned the Pakistan team’s fitness after their loose fielding against Afghanistan. Earlier, in the game against Australia, <strong><a href="https://www.crictracker.com/cricket-players/usama-mir/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Usama Mir</a></strong> dropped David Warner and the aggressive left-handed opener punished the 1992 champions with his magnificent ton.

Bangladesh are sitting at the bottom of the table with just one win and four heavy losses in five matches. Under their veteran skipper Shakib Al Hasan, they have failed to bring cheers to the faces of their supporters but in the upcoming games, they will strive to showcase their best.

Talking about their fielding performance, the Bangla side has looked completely ordinary. In the important game against New Zealand in Chennai, they faced a humiliating eight-wicket defeat. After putting up an average total of 245 runs on the board, the Bangla team had to showcase its best in the bowling and fielding departments of the game.

However, the Kiwi side batted with discipline in the middle and created pressure on Shakib and his men. The Bangla tigers’ morale went down and their fielding performance reflected it completely. Fielding at the point, Mehidy Hasan Miraz dropped <strong><a href="https://www.crictracker.com/cricket-players/devon-conway/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Devon Conway</a></strong>, who was batting at four while Taskin Ahmed also dropped the New Zealand skipper Kane Williamson when New Zealand’s score was 27.&nbsp;

The Netherlands returned to the World Cup after 12 years and this time, they have succeeded in impressing avid cricket enthusiasts with their stunning 38-run victory against South Africa in Dharamshala. The superb win over the Proteas clearly displays that the Dutch side has a bright future ahead in the cricketing world.

The Dutch team has looked decent in all departments of the game in this tournament. As a fielding side, they have looked vigilant and disciplined but still have to perfect themselves to create an impact in this competition. Against New Zealand, their debutant Sybrand Engelbrecht dropped Daryl Mitchell on 22, and following the dropped sitter from the 35-year-old, Mitchell added 26 more runs and went back to the pavilion after scoring 48 runs.

In the scintillating victory against the Proteas, the Orange Army dominated <strong><a href="https://www.crictracker.com/cricket-players/temba-bavuma/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Temba Bavuma</a></strong> and his men in all areas but Bas de Leede, who dropped dangerous David Miller on 23, could’ve cost them.&nbsp;

<a href="https://www.crictracker.com/social-tracker-cricket/odi-world-cup-2023-top-10-memes-from-aus-vs-ned-match-24/" title="Australia" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Australia</strong></a> kicked off their tournament with huge losses against India and South Africa. Following their embarrassing defeats, the Aussies made a comeback, winning three consecutive games. With the Men in Yellow back on the winning track, Aussie supporters are now expecting their team to be in the knockout round.

There were a lot of talks about the Australian team’s fielding in this competition as the Yellow Army didn’t look disciplined as a fielding unit. In their maiden game against India, Mitchell Marsh failed to grab the important catch of Virat Kohli, who was playing on 12. The missed chance proved costly for the five-time champions as the batting maestro brought India back into the game with his extraordinary innings of 85 off 116.

Following the six-wicket defeat at the hands of the hosts, the Aussies were pummelled by the Proteas by 134 runs in Lucknow. Australia received criticism for putting down five catches in the match. Their outstanding fielders Mitchell Starc, Pat Cummins, and Marcus Stoinis also dropped sitters.

Sri Lanka are another Asian side along with Bangladesh which failed to perform up to the expectations. The 1996 champions are looking fine in the batting department but their bowling attack is failing consistently against quality teams. Unlike their bowling attack, their fielding unit is striving to make a fine contribution.

Against the Proteas, their bowlers gave away 428 runs in 50 overs. In the first innings of the match in Delhi, Sri Lanka fielders grabbed chances successfully when they got and diving efforts were also seen in those 50 overs but eventually, their fielders didn’t get enough support from the bowling department.

Against <strong><a href="https://www.crictracker.com/cricket-teams/pakistan/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Pakistan</a></strong>, Dasun Shanaka &amp; Co. failed to defend 344 runs but they gave a tough time to the Men in Green. At the beginning of Pakistan’s innings, Kusal Mendis took an excellent running catch to assist his colleague Dilshan Madushanka to get rid of the opening batter Imam-ul-Haq.

England are performing terribly in this competition under Jos Buttler. The defending champions began their tournament with a massive nine-wicket defeat at the hands of New Zealand. Devon Conway and Rachin Ravindra stepped up in this contest and took England’s bowling unit to the cleaners and pulled off a fine total of 283 runs with 13.4 overs to spare.&nbsp;

Throughout this match, England fielders became spectators and saw their bowlers getting pounded by Conway and Ravindra. The English team looked confident against Bangladesh in their next game, registering a 137-run win. In this game, Jonny Bairstow, Liam Livingstone, and Adil Rashid provided support to the bowlers with their fine catches.

Against South Africa, England’s batting and bowling departments fell apart and faced a 229-run defeat. Only their fielders put up a decent show in this game. <strong><a href="https://www.crictracker.com/cricket-players/jonny-bairstow/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jonny Bairstow</a></strong> took a couple of catches in this crucial contest while Livingstone took a marvellous catch at the backward point to help Gus Atkinson send Gerald Coetzee back to the dugout.

Afghanistan have won a lot of hearts with their remarkable performances in this tournament. In their notable 69-run triumph over England, the Afghan spinners wreaked havoc on batters with their wonderful bowling. The Afghan spinners succeeded in their plans and in this success, their fielders provided fine support.&nbsp;

Fielding at the slips, Rahmat Shah and Mohammad Nabi took brilliant catches. <strong><a href="https://www.crictracker.com/cricket-players/ibrahim-zadran/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ibrahim Zadran</a></strong> also stayed alert at the short cover and dismissed dangerous Dawid Malan with a catch on Mohammad Nabi’s bowling.

<p>The ODI World Cup 2023 has entered its fourth week and witnessing the cricketing action thus far, it can be said that some teams have performed exceptionally and are expected to advance to the knockout stage comfortably while a few are struggling in the competition and to qualify for the semi-finals, they will have to display their best.</p>
<p>Following all the matches in these three weeks of the competition, it’s time to rate the fielding performances of all teams. Fielding has always been one of the most crucial departments of this sport and in this competition, fielders have again played a vital role in the success of their teams. Talking more, let’s rate the fielding displays of all teams in this tournament. &nbsp;</p>
<h3>Here are the team ratings on fielding performances in the tournament</h3>
<h3>10. Pakistan- 4/10</h3>

<p>Pakistan are in a perilous situation in this tournament. After their historic World Cup run chase against Sri Lanka in Hyderabad, the Babar Azam-led team faced solid hammerings from India, Australia, and Afghanistan, and currently, they are on a backfoot with two wins and three losses in five matches.</p>
<p>Critics aren’t hesitating in attacking Babar Azam and his team for failing in all departments of the game and witnessing all these developments, it’s important for the Green Army to make a comeback in the tournament and qualify for the semi-final. After their eight-wicket defeat at the hands of Afghanistan, critics came heavily on Pakistan’s horrendous fielding show.</p>
<p>In the crucial contest against the Afghan side, Pakistan’s sloppy fielding irked their coach Mickey Arthur, and cricketing legends Wasim Akram and Moin Khan as well. Wasim also questioned the Pakistan team’s fitness after their loose fielding against Afghanistan. Earlier, in the game against Australia, <strong><a href="https://www.crictracker.com/cricket-players/usama-mir/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Usama Mir</a></strong> dropped David Warner and the aggressive left-handed opener punished the 1992 champions with his magnificent ton.</p>
<p></p>
<h3>9. Bangladesh- 4.5/10</h3>

</figure>
<p>Bangladesh are sitting at the bottom of the table with just one win and four heavy losses in five matches. Under their veteran skipper Shakib Al Hasan, they have failed to bring cheers to the faces of their supporters but in the upcoming games, they will strive to showcase their best.</p>
<p>Talking about their fielding performance, the Bangla side has looked completely ordinary. In the important game against New Zealand in Chennai, they faced a humiliating eight-wicket defeat. After putting up an average total of 245 runs on the board, the Bangla team had to showcase its best in the bowling and fielding departments of the game.</p>
<p>However, the Kiwi side batted with discipline in the middle and created pressure on Shakib and his men. The Bangla tigers’ morale went down and their fielding performance reflected it completely. Fielding at the point, Mehidy Hasan Miraz dropped <strong><a href="https://www.crictracker.com/cricket-players/devon-conway/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Devon Conway</a></strong>, who was batting at four while Taskin Ahmed also dropped the New Zealand skipper Kane Williamson when New Zealand’s score was 27.&nbsp;</p>
<p></p>
<h3>8. The Netherlands- 5/10</h3>

</figure>
<p>The Netherlands returned to the World Cup after 12 years and this time, they have succeeded in impressing avid cricket enthusiasts with their stunning 38-run victory against South Africa in Dharamshala. The superb win over the Proteas clearly displays that the Dutch side has a bright future ahead in the cricketing world.</p>
<p>The Dutch team has looked decent in all departments of the game in this tournament. As a fielding side, they have looked vigilant and disciplined but still have to perfect themselves to create an impact in this competition. Against New Zealand, their debutant Sybrand Engelbrecht dropped Daryl Mitchell on 22, and following the dropped sitter from the 35-year-old, Mitchell added 26 more runs and went back to the pavilion after scoring 48 runs.</p>
<p>In the scintillating victory against the Proteas, the Orange Army dominated <strong><a href="https://www.crictracker.com/cricket-players/temba-bavuma/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Temba Bavuma</a></strong> and his men in all areas but Bas de Leede, who dropped dangerous David Miller on 23, could’ve cost them.&nbsp;</p>
<p></p>
<h3>7. Australia- 6/10&nbsp;</h3>

<p><a href="https://www.crictracker.com/social-tracker-cricket/odi-world-cup-2023-top-10-memes-from-aus-vs-ned-match-24/" title="Australia" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Australia</strong></a> kicked off their tournament with huge losses against India and South Africa. Following their embarrassing defeats, the Aussies made a comeback, winning three consecutive games. With the Men in Yellow back on the winning track, Aussie supporters are now expecting their team to be in the knockout round.</p>
<p>There were a lot of talks about the Australian team’s fielding in this competition as the Yellow Army didn’t look disciplined as a fielding unit. In their maiden game against India, Mitchell Marsh failed to grab the important catch of Virat Kohli, who was playing on 12. The missed chance proved costly for the five-time champions as the batting maestro brought India back into the game with his extraordinary innings of 85 off 116.</p>
<p>Following the six-wicket defeat at the hands of the hosts, the Aussies were pummelled by the Proteas by 134 runs in Lucknow. Australia received criticism for putting down five catches in the match. Their outstanding fielders Mitchell Starc, Pat Cummins, and Marcus Stoinis also dropped sitters.</p>
<p></p>
<h3>6. Sri Lanka- 6/10</h3>

<p>Sri Lanka are another Asian side along with Bangladesh which failed to perform up to the expectations. The 1996 champions are looking fine in the batting department but their bowling attack is failing consistently against quality teams. Unlike their bowling attack, their fielding unit is striving to make a fine contribution.</p>
<p>Against the Proteas, their bowlers gave away 428 runs in 50 overs. In the first innings of the match in Delhi, Sri Lanka fielders grabbed chances successfully when they got and diving efforts were also seen in those 50 overs but eventually, their fielders didn’t get enough support from the bowling department.</p>
<p>Against <strong><a href="https://www.crictracker.com/cricket-teams/pakistan/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Pakistan</a></strong>, Dasun Shanaka &amp; Co. failed to defend 344 runs but they gave a tough time to the Men in Green. At the beginning of Pakistan’s innings, Kusal Mendis took an excellent running catch to assist his colleague Dilshan Madushanka to get rid of the opening batter Imam-ul-Haq.</p>

<p>England are performing terribly in this competition under Jos Buttler. The defending champions began their tournament with a massive nine-wicket defeat at the hands of New Zealand. Devon Conway and Rachin Ravindra stepped up in this contest and took England’s bowling unit to the cleaners and pulled off a fine total of 283 runs with 13.4 overs to spare.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Throughout this match, England fielders became spectators and saw their bowlers getting pounded by Conway and Ravindra. The English team looked confident against Bangladesh in their next game, registering a 137-run win. In this game, Jonny Bairstow, Liam Livingstone, and Adil Rashid provided support to the bowlers with their fine catches.</p>
<p>Against South Africa, England’s batting and bowling departments fell apart and faced a 229-run defeat. Only their fielders put up a decent show in this game. <strong><a href="https://www.crictracker.com/cricket-players/jonny-bairstow/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jonny Bairstow</a></strong> took a couple of catches in this crucial contest while Livingstone took a marvellous catch at the backward point to help Gus Atkinson send Gerald Coetzee back to the dugout.</p>

<p>Afghanistan have won a lot of hearts with their remarkable performances in this tournament. In their notable 69-run triumph over England, the Afghan spinners wreaked havoc on batters with their wonderful bowling. The Afghan spinners succeeded in their plans and in this success, their fielders provided fine support.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Fielding at the slips, Rahmat Shah and Mohammad Nabi took brilliant catches. <strong><a href="https://www.crictracker.com/cricket-players/ibrahim-zadran/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ibrahim Zadran</a></strong> also stayed alert at the short cover and dismissed dangerous Dawid Malan with a catch on Mohammad Nabi’s bowling. The left-handed batter was looking in great touch but the fine grab forced him to return to the pavilion on 32 after facing 39 balls.</p>
<p>After mauling the English team, the Afghan team registered an eight-wicket triumph over Pakistan. The Afghan side outplayed the 1992 champions in all departments of the game and emerged victorious. In this game, their fielders also exuded confidence, taking some superb catches.</p>

<p>Against New Zealand, the Indian team made some errors but prior to this game, they exuded confidence with their scintillating fielding shows. Virat Kohli’s elegant catch at the slips to get rid of Mitchell Marsh against Australia grabbed a lot of eyeballs. Ravindra Jadeja, who is known for his extraordinary fielding potential, also hit the headlines for his amazing stunner at the backward point against Mushfiqur Rahim.</p>
<p></p>
<h3>2. South Africa- 8.5/10</h3>
