Babar Azam blamed the pitcher for the defeat in the second T20 match

Pakistan captain Babar Azam said that the pitchers next to him gave up too much running, which caused the team to lose the game at Manchester Old Trafford in the second T20 match against England. .

In the post-match meeting on Sunday, the captain stated that after the first pairing, the batsman could not maintain the momentum.

England set a goal of 201 runs and Pakistan was limited to 155 points in their 20 games. Opener Azam and Mohammad Rizwan added 50 points in 5.4 games before the captain was dismissed by Saqib Mahmood with 22.
After Azam was dismissed, the Pakistani pursuits disappeared as tourists regularly lost wickets. Sohaib Maqsood (15), Mohammad Hafeez (10), Fakhar Zaman (8) and Azam Khan (1) lost to England’s spin bowling trio Adil Rashid, Mark Parkinson and Moeen Ali.

Rizwan became the team’s leading scorer with 29 goals and 37 goals. Shadab Khan is unbeaten 36 times on 22 goals (two four-pointers, three six-pointers). Imad Wasim contributed 20 points for England, Saqib scored three wickets with 33 points, while Adil and Moeen scored two wickets and lost 30 and 32 points respectively.

Azam acknowledged the failure on the court, saying that they will not repeat the same mistakes in the next game and will work hard to play good cricket.

Deputy Captain Shadarbhan praised the British team for using conditions in a better way, adding that Pakistan has Mohamed Hafez as an option for spinning bowling, but this is not the case and he can be asked to bowl.

The three games of the series are now 1-1, and the final game will be played at Manchester’s Old Trafford on Tuesday, July 20.
