IND VS PAK – MOHAMMAD RIZWAN After the loss of India: “We can say for now that it has ended”


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.

“We can say for now that it ends,” Rizwan said after the game. “That is the truth. We will see what Bangladesh does with New Zealand, then New Zealand with India and then what we do. It is a long path and depends on other teams.

“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.

Rizwan, who assumed the position of Captain of Blanca at the end of last year and led the team to the bilateral victories of the ODI series in Australia and South Africa, felt frustrated by its side making the same mistakes they have made in their recent losses , in a tri. -Series that involve New Zealand and South Africa and then their opening game here.

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.

In a sense, the limitations of Pakistan’s batting had been affected twice before the tournament had seriously begun. Saim Ayub’s fractured ankle stole them from a first game of a young man, modern and in shape and then, two balls in his opening game, effectively lost Fakhar Zaman, his other opener capable of rapid beginnings.
Rizwan lamented the loss of both, especially Ayub, which also provided a turn inclination option. He left Pakistan depending on Imam-Ul-Haq in this game, a starter with a very different set of skills.
Similarly, the presence of a single spinner specialist in the team, Abrar Ahmed, has been questioned through the Tri -Series series and the two games of this tournament. Rizwan said, however, they could not have brought another specialist, although he was his best bowling player in both games.
“In Odi you can’t have five genuine bowling players. Naseem [Shah]Shaheen [Afridi]Haris [Rauf]ABRAR. The fifth, you see New Zealand, Santner and Bracewell, India have Jadeja and Patel. The best we had, the selectors chose them: Salman Agha and Khushdil Shah. If we go with two genuine spinners, that means that we go with five bowling players and six batters and we cannot make a combination of that. So, yes, there will be questions about having another row, but you can’t enter with five genuine bowling players in a hate. Maybe in a T20 “.
