The defending champions only have one game against Bangladesh and stay depending on other results in the group to cross them to the last four. That is a situation in which Pakistan has been found regularly in recent tournaments and is that Rizwan doesn’t care much.
“As a captain, I don’t like to depend on others. If you are good enough, you show it by winning and keep things in your hands. Waiting for other teams, I don’t like worrying about their results. What matters is that India and New Zealand beat us. [to sneak through] So, so it is. “
Rizwan acknowledged that the team will have to face difficult questions about their performances here. His departure is confirmed if New Zealand beat Bangladesh in Rawalpindi on Monday and, if so, he will mark the third ICC White-Ball tournament in a row in which they left before the knockouts.
His own entries today, a 46 of 77 balls, will be under scrutiny of the way Babar Azam’s tickets did in the first defeat. It was much more inert until a late acceleration, but his dismissal was one of the three rapid Wickts in the middle that stole Pakistan of any impulse they had built.
“When you lose, you are obviously disappointed and it is a difficult time, difficult questions arise,” he said. “We made mistakes in the three departments, that’s why we lost today.
“At our team meeting yesterday, we said that we will go 270-280 about this, since the garden was slow, the launch was slow. If we had obtained 280, the result could have been different. Saud [Shakeel] And I began to build an association, on which we took a while, but after that, our selection of shots was poor. That gave them the opportunity to take wickts and exert pressure on our average order. They built on him and we could not stabilize.
“We made mistakes that we have been making in recent games. These are not new mistakes. We have been committing them in the last four games. We work on them, but we are human, our players are human, these these mistakes happen. We make mistakes , perhaps because when we had to show courage at some times we didn’t show enough.
