DUBAI: After Pakistan’s defeat to Sri Lanka in the Asia Cup final on Sunday, head coach Saqlain Mushtaq downplayed worries over skipper Babar Azam’s performance and found nothing wrong with opener Mohammad Rizwan’s batting strategy.
Babar, who is presently ranked second among T20 batsmen in the world after colleague Rizwan, only scored 68 runs in six innings. His performance is concerning as the 20-over World Cup, which starts next month in Australia, is set to take place.
After their 23-run loss against Sri Lanka, Saqlain Mushtaq observed, “If someone looked at his batting, you’d just think he’s unlucky, given the way he’s getting out.”It is merely a patch. He is (among the) best in ODIs and T20 Internationals, according to the rankings. Simply put, it was unlucky. It’s incredible how he practises and plays.His work ethic is excellent.
Rizwan, Babar’s opening partner, top-scored for Pakistan in the final on Sunday with 55 off 49 balls, but his conventional batting style seemed inappropriate for the 20-over format.Former test spinner Saqlain stated that “every team and player have their unique style and approaches.”You are not have to follow the majority of people in the world, and his strategy is not flawed.
