Babar Azam: Pakistan's team is out of the Super-8 race in the T20 World Cup 2024. After defeating Ireland in the T20 World Cup group match on Sunday, Pakistan captain Babar Azam said, “We will return home and see what was lacking because we were not good as a team. Due to Pakistan's excellent bowling, Ireland allowed only 106 runs for nine wickets in 20 overs. In response, Ireland also made this target challenging for Pakistan on the strength of its bowlers. Which won by scoring 111 runs for seven wickets in 18.5 overs. Babar Azam (two fours in 34 balls) remained at the crease till the end while Shaheen Shah Afridi scored an unbeaten 13 runs with the help of two sixes in five balls to give his team victory.
We will return to our country and see the mistake.
Babar said in the award ceremony after the three-wicket win against Ireland, “We took wickets early in the match. But we did not bat well. Losing wickets continuously but barely reaching the target. The conditions were favorable for bowling, but some mistakes were made in batting against America and India. When you lose wickets, the pressure is on you.' Let's see what the team wants. Now let's return to Pakistan and see what was lacking. We fell behind in close matches and could not perform well as a team.
I didn't ask for captaincy a second time
Babar Azam said, “When I left the captaincy for the first time, I felt that I should not captain anymore and I announced it myself. When the PCB called me back for responsibility, it was their decision.” Now we will come back and discuss it. If I leave the captaincy again, I will tell everyone. At the moment I have not thought about it and the decision depends on the PCB.
Babar Azam further said that you can have a certain mindset of how you want to play. But you can't go there and hit a six off every ball or take a wicket off every ball. You have to assess the situation. Tell me, in how many matches have batsmen struggled here? Yes, we need to think out of the box. Not just one player but every player needs it. ' Because cricket is moving very fast so you have to move ahead with modern cricket. You also need game awareness and common sense. Here, you can see that you have taken the game a little deeper and built an innings. No matter how much you try you cannot score 150 SR here. When you don't have wickets in hand, you come under pressure.
