After winning the match, captain Babar Azam has called it a big mistake of the Pakistani team.Babar Azam unhappy with the batting of the Pakistani teamPakistani captain Babar Azam said in the award ceremony after the three-wicket win over Ireland that we took early wickets in the match. But we did not bat well. Lost wickets continuously, but somehow reached the target. He said that the conditions were suitable for bowling but there were some mistakes in batting against America and India. When you lose wickets, the pressure comes on you. Let's see what the team wants. We will now go home and see what was lacking. We lagged behind in close matches, could not do well as a team. If the team needs me to open, I will and if they need me to bat at number three, I will. Whatever the situation of the team is favorable, I will do it.Shaheen Afridi performed wellIn the match against Ireland, Pakistani captain Babar Azam won the toss and decided to bowl first. Ireland gave Pakistan a target of 107 runs. No batsman could bat consistently for the team. Gareth Delany scored the highest 31 runs. At the same time, Shaheen Afridi bowled brilliantly for Pakistan. He took three wickets in the match and later while batting, scored unbeaten 13 runs with two sixes in five balls and led the team to victory. He got the 'Player of the Match' award for his brilliant performance.Shaheen Shah Afridi said that we did not play the kind of cricket that the country expects. Some departments have to be improved. The Champions Trophy is coming. We have to improve and move forward as a team. Fans always come and support us. Thank you all for the support. It's a tough time. I come in late in the innings, I just hit. The team needed it.
