Rawalpindi : South Africa has defeated Pakistan in the first T20 match. Another defeat from South Africa has reduced Pakistan to a second-rate team. Pakistani players lack passion and confidence.
Another defeat for Pakistan has proven that the Pakistan Cricket Board administration is made up of incompetent, unprofessional, and unserious people who did not take notice of the defeats in the Asia Cup and the match against the USA in the past and the same mistakes were repeated in the Rawalpindi T20 match against South Africa.
Cricket fans are not satisfied with Pakistan’s performance and they believe that the Pakistan Cricket Board should work in a more professional and effective manner. The Pakistani team has completely failed in all departments. The performance of the Pakistani team is disappointing for the fans and the demand for a more professional approach from the Pakistan Cricket Board is increasing.
To improve the performance of the Pakistani team, there is a need to work on key areas such as coaching staff, player selection, team strategy, fitness, planning of training programs, leadership and captaincy.
Remember that this is the third consecutive defeat of the Pakistani team at the hands of South Africa in T20 matches. Last year, Pakistan lost both T20 matches to South Africa. The defeat has shown that Pakistan is looking for power hitters, not batsmen. Players who only know how to stop the ball are also selected in the Pakistani team, while the best teams in the world are batting aggressively throughout the entire innings against the opponent. In such a situation, it is difficult to understand why Pakistan is still playing old-style cricket.
Another defeat to South Africa has shown that Pakistan is looking for power hitters, not batsmen. Players who only know how to stop the ball are also selected in the Pakistani team, while the best teams in the world are batting aggressively throughout the entire innings against the opponent. Pakistan is still playing old-style cricket. The Pakistan Cricket Board can answer this question by saying that these are the best players available to them. However, why has the system that the PCB is running failed to produce high-quality batsmen? Why have our batsmen failed to develop the ability to adopt an aggressive approach?
We saw that the Rawalpindi pitch was sporting and it was easy to bat but our batsmen did not play the shots. The reason was Babar Azam because after he was caught out on a normal ball, the team came under pressure. Babar Azam once again returned to the field for zero. Babar Azam’s catch out was a big loss for the team. Because of him, the pressure on other batsmen increased and the team faced difficulties. Spinners and part-time bowlers slowed down our batting as Pakistani players started playing intermittently and were more cautious. The problem is also that the Pakistani think tank is focusing too much on the strategy of maintaining the combination of left and right-wing batsmen. This is why Mohammad Nawaz was sent up in the batting order in particular and the results of this decision have come out. It is also because the Pakistani think tank is focusing a lot on the strategy of maintaining the combination of left and right-wing batsmen.
This is why Mohammad Nawaz was sent up in the batting order in particular and Mohammad Nawaz performed brilliantly, taking 3 wickets and playing an innings of 36 runs. The sad fact for Pakistan is that no matter how good he is as a cricketer, Salman Ali Agha is not fit for the T20 team. It is important to correct these mistakes while selecting the next T20 squad.
Remember that in the first T20 match, the entire Pakistan team was dismissed for 139 runs, South Africa won the first T20 match by defeating Pakistan by 55 runs. Chasing a target of 195 runs set by South Africa, the Pakistani team was bowled out for 139 runs in 18.1 overs, with Saim Ayub top-scoring with 37 runs, while Sahibzada Farhan scored 24 runs and Usman Khan scored 12 runs. Babar Azam returned to the crease on a duck, while captain Salman Agha scored 2. Hassan Nawaz scored 3 and Faheem Ashraf scored 1. For South Africa, Corbin Bush took 4, George took 3, Williams took 2 and Ngedi took one wicket. Earlier, Pakistan won the toss and decided to field, on which South Africa scored 194 runs for the loss of 9 wickets in the allotted 20 overs, with Reza Hendricks scoring 60 runs. In addition, George scored 36, Tony de Zorzi scored 33 and Quinton scored 23 runs. For Pakistan, Mohammad Nawaz took three wickets, Saim Ayub took two, Abrar Ahmed, Shaheen Shah Afridi and Naseem Shah took one wicket each.
The Pakistani team is in the process of transformation but the problems with batting and tactics have made it a second-rate team. The bowling also needs to improve but the failure of the hitters and the style of batting by stopping and stopping has made it difficult to assess how to improve the bowling.
