The defeat against England in the Super-8 match of the ICC T20 World Cup has dealt a big blow to Pakistan’s hopes of reaching the semi-finals. Despite giving a target of 165 runs, Pakistan team could not save this score and lost the match in 19.1 overs. After the match, captain Salman Ali Aga himself revealed the main reason for the defeat to everyone.
Pak captain held this player responsible for the defeat
In the post match presentation, Agha clearly said that the team had made a good start in batting, but in the end the runs could not be scored the way they should have been. He believed that the score was a little low and this proved to be the turning point of the match. However, he praised the opposing captain Harry Brook, who completely took the match out of Pakistan’s grip.
Brook turned the match
Chasing the target of 165 runs, England had a very bad start and at one time the team had lost 4 wickets for 58 runs. In such difficult times, Brook took charge and played shots all around against the Pakistani bowlers and played a brilliant inning of 100 runs in just 51 balls. His innings changed the course of the match and took England towards victory.
Pak captain praised
Salman Ali Aga said that his team tried everything possible to get Brook out, but he did not stop. He said that whenever we lose a match against England, it is often Brook who makes the difference. He is such a batsman who has the ability to play shots in every corner of the field and becomes a big challenge for the bowlers.
Farhan and Shaheen’s wedding went in vain
Salman Ali Aga also praised Sahibzada Farhan. Sahibzada Farhan played an important inning of 63 runs for Pakistan and put the team in a strong position. While in bowling, Shaheen Afridi definitely raised hopes of comeback by taking 4 wickets, but in the end the team could not save the match.
Archer hits the winning four
Despite the fall of wickets in the last overs, England maintained its composure and in the end Joffra Archer gave the team victory by hitting a four. After this defeat, the path to the semi-finals has now become very difficult for Pakistan and the further journey will depend on the results of other matches.
