Delhi: The defeat against England in the Super-8 stage has dealt a blow to Pakistan’s semi-final hopes. Earlier, the team’s first match against New Zealand was canceled due to rain, due to which the situation in the points table became more complicated. By winning this important match, England has almost confirmed its place in the last four.
Harry Brook’s explosive innings became the major reason for the defeat.
The hero of England’s victory was captain Harry Brook, who batted brilliantly in a pressure-filled match and scored a century in 50 balls. His aggressive innings completely changed the course of the match. Pakistan’s bowlers adopted every strategy to stop him, but Brook stood firm till the end and brought the team to the threshold of victory.
Salman Ali Aga praised the opposing captain
After the match, Pakistan captain Salman Ali Aga accepted the defeat and openly praised Brook’s batting. He said that many times the opposing players make the difference in the match and the same happened in this match. Also, Salman looked disappointed after this defeat.
Despite good start, Pakistan could not finish strong
The Pakistani captain admitted that the team had made a solid start to the batting, but could not show the expected pace in the final overs. According to him, if the score had been a little bigger, the match could have gone in a different direction. He also believed that in T20 cricket, many times the opposition batsmen single-handedly take away the match and in this match, Brook did the same.
Semi-final hopes now depend on other matches
After this defeat, the situation of Pakistan has become difficult. Now the team’s eyes are fixed on the match between England and New Zealand. If England defeats New Zealand, Pakistan’s hopes of reaching the last four can remain alive. At present, the team is facing the challenge of moving forward with the help of equations.
