Pakistan’s team is preparing for a pivotal World Cup encounter against England, which serves as their final fixture in the tournament. Captain Babar Azam exudes confidence in the team’s capacity to clinch victory, taking into account the prevailing run rate scenarios.
In a recent press conference, Babar Azam conveyed, “We have devised a plan to address the net run rate, and we are committed to implementing it.
Babar Azam has outlined the team’s strategy for managing the net run rate, emphasizing the importance of executing the plan during their upcoming crucial match against England. He stated, “We have devised a plan for the net run rate, focusing on the approach for the first 10 overs and subsequent phases. If Fakhar Zaman can anchor the innings for 20-30 overs, we believe we can achieve the required objectives.”
The captain highlighted the significance of players like Iftikhar Ahmed and Mohammad Rizwan in the match. Babar Azam addressed criticism from former cricketers regarding both his individual performance and captaincy in the tournament, stating, “There is no pressure on me. I have been performing and leading the side for the past three years. It’s easy to make comments from a TV seat. Those wishing to advise me can contact me directly.”
When asked about the factors contributing to Pakistan’s performance, Babar refused to single out any individual, emphasizing that the team fell short in cohesive performance. He expressed a commitment to learning from the mistakes made during the tournament.
Babar Azam further asserted that the team’s struggles couldn’t be solely attributed to runs scored or lost in bowling or fielding. He acknowledged that as a collective, the team failed to execute their plan and did not adhere to the requirements in all facets of the game, encompassing bowling, batting, and fielding.
