Salman Ali Aga told where the mistake happened

To enter the semi-finals, Pakistan team had to win by at least 65 runs, but it could not do so. Explaining the reason behind this, Pakistani captain Salman Ali Aga said in the post match presentation ceremony, ‘I think when I lost the toss, it was always going to be difficult because of dew. Again it was a very good pitch and restricting them to 148 was going to be a challenge. But we tried and made it, but restricting them to 148 was going to be difficult from the beginning. I think if I had won the toss, the story could have been different. Yes, you can say dew was definitely a factor. But we could not execute our plan the way we wanted.

Sahibzada Farhan was seen fighting alone in the entire tournament. About which captain Salman Ali Aga said, ‘Our spin has been excellent, but today Usman obviously had a bad day and this can happen in the T20 game. I think we could not bat well throughout the tournament. There was only Sahibzada Farhan, he batted very well. At that time, if someone had helped him a little more, the story could have been different. Batting was always a matter of concern throughout the tournament, especially the middle order.

The captain also spoke on the biggest shortcoming of the team

The biggest problem of Pakistan team has been their middle order. Speaking about which captain Salman Ali Aga said, ‘Middle order has been a problem for us for the last few years. We will have to sit and pay attention to that department also. Lost a lot of runs in the last two overs. We couldn’t finish the way we wanted. We batted very well for 18 overs and allowed the opposition team to bowl two good overs. But if we had batted well in those two overs and scored 30 more runs, say 10-15 more runs, then the story could have been different.
