Babar Azam on loss against USA

 

Pakistan captain Babar Azam was highly disappointed with his team and said that they were outclassed in all departments be it batting, bowling, or fielding. He praised USA for their performance and said they failed to assess the conditions.

 

“First 6 overs while batting we didn’t capitalise. Back-to-back wickets always put you on the back foot, as a batter you need to step up and build partnerships. We were not up to the mark in the first 6 overs with the ball. Our spinners also did not take wickets in the middle overs so these things cost us. Very hard, all credit to USA, they played better than us in all three departments. Little bit of moisture in the pitch, it was also two-paced. As a professional, you need to assess the conditions,” said Babar in the post-match presentation.
