ISLAMABAD : August 28, 2022. Poor captaincy, as usual failure of top order cost Pakistan Asia T20 Cup crucial match at Dubai stadium on Sunday.
India restrained Pakistan at 147 for all out after playing 19.5 . Babar Azam who is topping the world ranking in all three formats was the first to fall to Indian balling . He was shown the way to the dressing room when Pakistan ‘s score was only 15. Then another game changer , Fakhar Zaman, was the next to throw his wicket to the baller in a bid to hit a short ball. He could have played reasonably and responsibly, but why he should do so when his captain was irresponsible .
The way Pakistani batters lost their wickets it shows everyone of them was on a practice session .
Rizwan who made the best score hardly plays required for T20 fornat.
A total of 147 for a team like India is nothing . One can say such total in the case of India is always undefendable .
Indian cricket giants like Jadeja and Hardik can over walk such a less total and the same happend on Sunday in Dubai stadium.
India won the game in the last over . Thanks Indian players kept on scoring at slow pace to take the game to the last over.
Riz Khan, the commentator , rightly said in his comments after India’s win in the Sunday’s match that Indian side had a better game plan. Why, this phenomenon of better game plan is a strange phenomenon for PCB, its boss , Rameez Raja and selectors.
The selectors of Pakistani team be asked what criteria they have to keep Babar Azam as captain for three formats . Are they not ashamed of what their selected team performed in crucial match of Asia T20 World Cup played against India at Dubai stadium on Sunday?
Why do not they check quality of play of the Indian team ?
Why do not they pick some better guy to lead Pakistani team?
The way Rameez Raja is behaving as chairnan Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) , it seems that he is more interested in keep on clinging to the job of PCB chief rather than focusing on merit and performance to pick a team for cricket .
Pakistani 220 million fans were extremely disappointed over Sunday’s performance of Pakistan ‘s eleven at Dubai stadium.
No one other than prime minister, Shahbaz Sharif, should question Rameez Raja for this performance of his picked up team.
He can pick a less ambitious man than Rameez Raja for PCB boss
