Pakistan captain Babar Azam acknowledged that his team’s setback, despite a strong bowling effort, was due to back-to-back wicket losses and playing more dot balls in the second half of their innings after their side lost to India by six runs in their ICC T20 World Cup encounter.
At Nassau County Stadium in New York, Pakistan lost composure in a nail-biting battle between bat and ball. After the first half, they were trailing 120 runs, but Jasprit Bumrah and Hardik Pandya’s bowling turned the tide of the match, leaving their opponents six runs short.
Babar stated, “We bowled well,” during the post-match press conference. lost consecutive wickets while batting and had an excessive number of dot balls. Playing tactics was easy for the most part. Only hit the peculiar boundaries and rotation. We had too many dot balls during that time, though, which was the second half of their run-chase.
Babar further added,” There’s hardly much to expect from tailenders. Our intention was to bat for the first six overs. However, we failed to meet expectations during that phase even after taking one wicket. It seemed like a good pitch. It was starting to get bally. A few balls had more bounce, and it moved a little slowly. We need to triumph in the final two games. We’ll talk about our errors and look forward to the final two matches.”
India leads Group A with four points from two wins in two games following their thrilling victory. Pakistan is ranked fourth after losing to India and the United States in both of its matches. It seems unlikely that they will make it to the knockout stage.
