Pakistan's cricket team captain, Salman Ali Agha, has candidly acknowledged his team's shortcomings in their performance against India during the Asia Cup Super 4. Despite a strong start, Pakistan struggled with their batting and bowling, ultimately falling short in crucial moments.
The match began on a promising note for Pakistan, scoring 91 runs in the first 10 overs. However, the pace slackened as India's Shivam Dube delivered a stellar spell, restricting Pakistan to 80 runs in the following 10 overs. Salman's reflection was straightforward, pointing out that a strong start should have ensured a score of 180, as opposed to the 172 they managed.
Nonetheless, with a spirit of resilience, Salman urged the team to set aside the defeat and prepare for an upcoming match against Sri Lanka. He emphasized the significance of performing well across all facets of the game—batting, bowling, and fielding—to secure future victories.
