He further said, “It was a very difficult task to make 138 on this wicket. But if he had scored 150, it would have been a big deal. The ball was getting so beans. All the Pakistan batsmen contributed. Well than Pakistani bowlers. You showed great courage. If you don’t have the guts, Pakistan doesn’t reach the finals. We have lost the final. No one is out of the first round. I said Pakistan would be out of the first round and you were done, but Pakistan still arrived.
Shoaib Akhtar further said, “The turning point of the match was Shaheen’s over to Mary Mane. There should have been an attempt to get him bowled by injection. We used to do that too. It doesn’t matter if it hurts. A player’s career cannot be put at risk. The World Cup will keep coming and going. The management and the captain should have taken care of it.”
Regarding Pakistan’s star player Shaheen Afridi, the former cricketer said, “Pakistan cricket should make a code. Do not carry an unfit player. I was also unfit all my life, but I used to bowl in such a way that the batsmen’s mouths were opened. But if you take an unfit player, the bowler gets shattered in a difficult situation. I thought he was already unfit before the catch. Shaheen tried a lot in this World Cup. If I had become unfit on this occasion, the people of Pakistan would not have left me. Pakistan has to think. You wanted openers in Australia who knew how to cut, play pool. Shadab did well in the tournament. I stand with you I wanted the match to go till the last over but never mind.
He continued, “My heart is happy today. Pakistan fought. India’s bowling could not save the match. Indian bowlers could not take a single wicket. So keep your head up proudly. This fight was good. Babar Azam work a little on fitness, work on team selection.
He said in the last, “Now the World Cup is going to be held in India next year. Whoever wants to be a hero, bring it to Pakistan by winning the trophy for Pakistan at the Wankhede Stadium. This is a challenge for you. There is going to be a 50-over World Cup in India and it should be our World Cup.
