Pakistan captain Babar Azam praised the spirit and aggression of his bowling unit after the loss against India on Sunday, 28 August. Speaking in the post-match presentation, Babar said that they were at least 15 runs behind and were playing catch-up in the second innings of the game.
“Definitely, the way we started the game. We were definitely less than 15 runs that day and I am proud of the way we bowled today,” Babar said.
He added, “The way Dahani stepped with both bat and ball today, but we couldn’t stop today’s game.”
Sunday was not a good day for Pakistan captain Babar Azam as he failed to give a strong start to his team. A top-heavy batting unit, Pakistan needed a big start from their captain, who usually anchors the innings, but Babar failed to open the night.
Babar is out on a short delivery from Bhuvneshwar Kumar, trying to pick it up. However, the batsman failed to hook the ball and it meant that the catch went to Arshdeep Singh, who was standing at short fine leg position.
Babar, the main architect behind Pakistan’s victory in the T20 World Cup, failed to marshal his troops in the second innings of the match. Injuries to the fast bowlers as well as minor miscalculations meant that the Pakistan captain was forced to bowl to left-arm off-spinner Mohammad Nawaz in the final over of the game, which was played in the hands of Hardik Pandya. , who is known for his spin- hitting ability. Nawaz held his own for three balls in the over, but the fourth was hit on the ropes by Hardik with 5 wickets remaining to seal the game.
“The idea behind Nawaz bowling the last over was that we wanted to go deep and see how things turn out. The idea was to build the pressure but Hardik did well,” Babar said.
He referred to debutant Naseem Shah in the press and said that he liked the bowler’s aggression.
“Naseem Shah is a very young bowler, but bowled so well, and showed so much aggression,” Babar ended his pressure.
