Pak vs Eng: PCB raises Rs13m through gate receipts for flood victims
PCB raises Rs13m through gate receipts for flood victims. The PCB chairman...
Looking at the performance of the Pakistan team in the Asia Cup, the majority of former cricketers agreed that the top order needs to improve the strike rate and stabilize the middle order.
On the other hand, the chief selector insisted that it cannot be a better combination and these players will perform, Chairman PCB Rameez Raja strongly supported this position and said more than once that this team will win the World Cup.
Captain Babar Azam also has the same sentence that the middle order has won the matches, if someone can’t perform, they give him more sports, similar things have been heard from the mouth of head coach Saqlain Mushtaq, there is no one in encouraging the players and giving them confidence.
It is not a problem, but not correcting the mistakes also increases the problems. In the first match of the home T20 series against England, the mistakes of the Asia Cup were repeated more or less.
Mohammad Rizwan’s form in the top order remained intact, and the opener’s strike rate also. It got better, Babar Azam, who failed in the Asia Cup, also managed to show a little better performance, but the middle order is old Dagher remained, Haider Ali and Shan Masood, who replaced Fakhr Zaman and Asif Ali, did not live up to expectations.
Iftikhar Ahmed hit a few sixes but also played dot balls, Khushdil Shah could not play strokes, Naseem Shah supported Haris Rauf. And Shahnawaz Dhani proved to be expensive, Usman Qadir also gave more runs, Muhammad Nawaz’s performance was better.
On the other hand, in the English batting, Alex Hales and Harry Brook’s batting was exactly what the team needed, Phil Salt, David Malan, Ben Duckett and Moeen Ali didn’t get a chance to play a big innings but everyone knows what kind of batsmen they are, David Wiley, Sam Curran and Luke Wood also bat aggressively with pace bowling, so the batting line is very long.
Adil Rashid and Moeen Ali’s spin bowling is also a lesson for Pakistani bowlers, in the second T20 too, if the green shirts do not learn from their mistakes, the English team will be able to double their lead.
