At the post-match presentation, Pakistan skipper Babar Azam pinpointed specific areas where Pakistan faltered. He highlighted the team’s inability to capitalize during the powerplay overs, stating, “In the first six overs, we didn’t capitalize. Back-to-back wickets always put you on the back foot, as a batter you need to step up and build partnerships.”
He further admitted that the spinners were unable to make inroads with wickets in the middle overs.
“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.”
USA outplays Pakistan in all departments
Azam acknowledged the USA’s superior performance, crediting them for playing better cricket across all three facets of the game – batting, bowling, and fielding. He also conceded that the pitch conditions, with a bit of moisture and uneven pace, played a role in the outcome.
“All credit to the 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,” he concluded.
Pakistan will need to regroup quickly and address these shortcomings as they move to New York for the highly-anticipated clash against arch-rivals India on Sunday, June 9.
