Pakistani Fans Blame Management For Defeat in Second T20I

Pakistani fans rued the defeat against England in the second T20I at Leeds on Sunday and blamed the poor decisions of the team management for it.

Pakistani side couldn’t chase the target of 201 set by the host in the second game of the three-match series.

The middle order of the visiting side collapsed after a good opening stand by Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan.

The men in green seemed so baffled by the English spin attack that they kept throwing wickets at regular intervals and the required run rate continued to mount.

Adil Rashid, Matt Parkinson, and Moeen Ali together took 5 wickets for 87 runs in their 11 overs. The visiting side lost 5 wickets for 34 runs after it was 71-1.

Pakistani fans reprimanded the decisions of the team management and selection of Azam Khan in the side.

The fans asked why the green team chose to bowl first on a pitch that looked batting friendly.

They said Pakistan must have followed the same strategy as the first game and set a big total on the board instead of opting for a chase.

They also raised objections on the selection of Azam Khan in the team and most of them believe that he doesn’t fulfill the criteria to be in the side.

Azam Khan sucks. There is no way he is making the playing XI of any other team in the world. Seen him play regular local amateur matches at the ground in Karachi and it’s legit unbelievable that he warrants a place in the side. #ENGvPAK

However, the fans still hope that the team would make a comeback in the final game and win the series currently leveled 1-1.
