Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammad Siraj bowled well
After this, Babar also praised the Indian bowlers. He said- Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj bowled well in the first 10 overs with swing on both sides, but our batting was not as expected. Yes, we lost wickets continuously and could not build partnerships. Because of this we had to face defeat.
However, after this defeat of Pakistan, the danger of being out of Asia Cup has increased. Now Pakistan team’s next and last match will be against Sri Lanka on 14th September. He will have to win this match at any cost. Then his dream of playing in the finals will be fulfilled. However his challenge is no less.
