India won against Pakistan in the ICC T20 World Cup 2024. Pakistan almost ended up their chances in the next round. Wasim Akram the Former Pakistan Captain and the best left-arm pacer, criticised the men in green for their surrender chasing just 120 runs at New York’s Nassau Country International Cricket Stadium.
After Usman Khan’s dismissal at 50/1 is a comeback movement for the Indian team in the game.
Then right-handed batsman Mohammad Rizwan was clean bowled by Jasprit Bumrah. The ball is a little bit low and Md Rizwan missed it.
With 3 fours and 1 six, he just scored 30 runs off 42 balls. There was no looking back for the 2007 champions and the seamers bowled a sealed line and length to restrict Pak to 113/7 in 20 overs. Wasim Akram didn’t control back and criticised the national cricketers.
“Pakistan players don’t need enemies as they are their enemies. They could have reached the target as the pitch was not challenging for batting. Pakistan’s batters had all the time to defeat India but they went for strokes, resulting in another defeat.
“When you are chasing just 120 runs, there is a need to take only singles and doubles. The batters can hit boundaries on bad balls. However, the planning was missing during Pakistan’s chase,” Wasim Akram on Star Sports.
Meanwhile, India has won two successive matches in the ICC T20 World Cup and Rohit Sharma’s team will currently face the USA(United States of America) on June 12.
