New Delhi: A match was played between India and Pakistan in the Asia Cup 2022 on Sunday. India won this match by 5 wickets and registered their first win in the Asia Cup 2022. After this match, former Pakistan fast bowler Shoaib Akhtar expressed anger over the defeat of his team.
In the second match of the Asia Cup, India won the toss and decided to bowl first. At the same time, from Pakistan’s side, captain Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan came out to bat first. Shoaib Akhtar has raised questions on the batting of these two.
Shoaib Akhtar said on his YouTube channel, ‘First of all I would like to congratulate both the teams. Both India and Pakistan teams tried their best to lose this match, India succeeded to a great extent, but in the end, Hardik Pandya crossed the team’s line.
Talking about his team, Akhtar said, ‘If Mohammad Rizwan gets 45 runs off 45 balls then how will it run (42 balls 43 runs)? He played 19 dot balls in the first 6 overs, you will get into trouble if you bowl so many dot balls in the powerplay.
Akhtar said that Indian captain Rohit Sharma and Pakistani captain Babar Azam tried their best to make bad team selection. India rested Rishabh Pant. At the same time, Pakistan fed Iftekar at number four. Apart from this, he advised Babar Azam to play at number three as well.
Shoaib Akhtar said, ‘How many times have I asked Babar Azam to come at number three and take the innings till the end? Fakhar Zaman and Mohammad Rizwan should open. In the match, Shadab Khan was sent up and Asif Ali was sent down. I don’t understand what Babar Azam is captaining for.
