Pakistan’s team is gearing up for a crucial World Cup match against England, their last fixture in the tournament. Captain Babar Azam expresses confidence in securing victory, revealing a plan for net run-rate scenarios during a press conference today.
Babar Azam stated, “We have a plan for net run-rate and will try to execute it. If Fakhar Zaman plays for 20-30 overs, we can achieve what’s required.” He highlighted the importance of Iftikhar Ahmed and Mohammad Rizwan’s roles in the match.
Responding to critics, Babar Azam brushed off pressure, inviting advice and defending his performance over the past three years.
He refrained from blaming individuals for Pakistan’s tournament performance, emphasizing the team’s collective failure.
Babar stressed the team’s commitment to learning from mistakes, acknowledging shortcomings in executing plans across bowling, batting, and fielding.
Today’s game against England holds the key to Pakistan’s semi-final qualification, requiring a significant victory margin of 287 runs or an improbable chase in 2.5 overs.
