Naseem Shah, who was playing his first T20I, gave Pakistan an early lead by dismissing KL Rahul for a duck in the first over. Naseem almost finished off Virat Kohli, but Fakhar Zaman dropped the former India captain at third slip. When Naseem cleaned up Suryakumar Yadav, he even brought Pakistan back into the game. However, Hardik Pandya kept his cool to lead India to victory in the last-over thriller.
Fast bowlers, on the other hand, are always pumped up and aggressive. The way he (Naseem Shah) started, despite the fact that we missed Shaheen (Shah Afridi) a lot, he didn’t make us feel that way…the way he bowled with the new ball and at the death was very good, During the press conference, Babar stated. Shaheen Shah Afridi has been ruled out of the Asia Cup due to a knee injury sustained while fielding during a recent Test match against Sri Lanka in Galle. When asked about Pakistan’s batting, Babar stated that the team’s poor batting performance was due to a lack of middle-order partnerships. He did, however, highlight and praise the tailenders Shahnawaz Dahani and Harris Rauf’s fight.
I believe we lacked collaboration. If we could form alliances, it would put pressure on the opposing team…we had small alliances but needed a large one, like over 50 runs. As a result, we fell short. And I believe we were unable to use it in the last few overs. However, the way the tail wagged, such as the runs scored by Dahani and Harris, was conducive to a comeback, and we fought well after that.
