In the second match of Asia Cup 2022, Pakistan had to face 5 wicket loss against India. The versatile Hardik Pandya and Ravindra Jadeja played a major role in India’s victory. Pakistan players gave a tough competition to India in this match. However, they were unable to achieve victory. Some of his mistakes were overshadowed by Pakistan captain Babar Azam.
Pakistan gave India a tough fight. But the team lost due to their own mistakes. Pakistan’s poor batting was a major reason for the loss in this match. At this Babar Azam managed to open. He had a great responsibility. But he came out after scoring just 10 runs. After Babar’s dismissal, no player except Rizwan was able to play a big tackle.
Captain Babar Azam made the second big mistake by not eliminating Naseem Shah. Naseem was playing his debut match. Pakistan tried to control the match well. But the team failed in the end.
Naseem received the 18th back. On the second ball of this over, Naseem complained of a leg cramp. They were lame. But despite this, Babar allowed him to go bowling. However, after this he made Jadeja BPN. But Jadeja survived after taking DRS. Jadeja hit a six on the fifth ball of this over. This six was very heavy for Pakistan.
Babar Azam should have beaten the last two balls of the 18 with some other bowler. If there hadn’t been a wicket, they probably would have only survived the runs. However, it does not happened.
Babar also made mistakes during the fielding. When India needed 21 runs from 12 balls to win, he missed the ball on the third ball of the 19. Here Babar had a chance to save the run. But due to his mistake, the four of them left.
