Wasim Akram said, ‘Obviously, we also feel like all other Pakistanis. We love cricket and is part of defeat and victory, after playing so much for Pakistan, I know this. However, the way we lost a unilateral match to India, it was difficult to tolerate it. Even today, you could see the players under pressure, their technical shortcomings were clearly visible. I am also a human being and sometimes it makes me disappointed and desperate. Pakistan captain Salman Ali Aga has asked his team to sharpen his batting in the middle overs as he is ready for an important match of Asia Cup Super Four against India on 21 September.
His remarks came after Pakistan’s victory of 41 runs over the United Arab Emirates. With this victory, she has confirmed the place in the next phase of the tournament but has not been able to help in hiding the weaknesses of batting which keep harassing the team. Aga said after the match, ‘We have completed the work, but we have to bat better in the middle overs. The bowlers performed well. We have not batted our best yet. If we had batted well, we could reach 170-180 runs. Shaheen is a match winner player. His batting has also improved. Abrar’s performance has been excellent. He is bringing us back in the match. We are ready for any challenge. If we play good cricket, then we can perform well against any team.
Pakistan’s team against the UAE was able to score 146/9 runs thanks to the brilliant performance in the last moments of Shaheen Shah Afridi, who scored 29 not out off 14 balls. However, the top and middle order failed once again. Sam Ayub has not yet opened an account in three matches, while Aga himself has been struggling to dominate the middle overs. The captain reiterated that it is very important to convert these tours into strong batting occasions. Aga said, ‘Yes, we are ready for any challenge. We just want to play good cricket, and if we keep playing good cricket like the last few months.
