Pakistan skipper Babar Azam said the team’s performance was disappointing and as the T20I World Cup approaches, the defeat against Zimbabwe was an eye-opener.
“We chased 200 against South Africa, so we should have chased [119] runs here. However, we … played poor cricket,” the skipper said in a video posted on Twitter by the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB).
The skipper said not only had the middle order collapsed, but the team’s batsmen were not able to put up a good performance as they used to in the past.
“The entire batting order had collapsed today and we should give credit to Zimbabwe for their comeback,” the skipper said.
The captain said the wicket was the same as the last match — where Pakistan defeated Zimbabwe — and noted that the blame cannot be shifted to the pitch.
“We will try to make good combinations in the matches ahead,” he added.
