Pakistan’s decision. to bat first proved costly as it suffered loss of its main batters including captain , Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan who scored 4 and 6 runs respectively.
Its worst performance of main batters of any team . Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) chairman, Chief Operating Officer (COO) and selectors seem incorrigible as they did not make proper team and depended on ‘Parchi’ players for T20 world cup.
