Pakistan wicketkeeper batter Mohammad Rizwan came up with a huge statement related to the current situation of the Pakistan National Cricket Team. The senior batter admitted that there are a lot of things wrong in the current and that’s why they lost the T20 World Cup 2024.
In what was the worst campaign, the Pakistan team had a torrid outing in the T20 World Cup 2024. The Babar Azam-led side couldn’t get going at all as they played poor cricket throughout and it led to their early exit from the tournament, in the United States of America leg.
Pakistan didn’t have a great start to the tournament as they lost to the United States of America which in itself was a biggest disappointment. The Men in Green lost the game in the Super Over and they faced a lot of criticism for losing to the associate nation despite being the finalists of the last T20 World Cup.
It was expected that Pakistan would come up with a better performance in the next game but it was the same case. They played better cricket in the game against India but couldn’t win the match as Indian bowlers snatched the victory from the jaws of defeat.
With two back-to-back losses in the T20 World Cup 2024, Pakistan came under a lot of pressure and their qualification for the Super 8 was dependent on the result of the game between the United States of America and Ireland National Cricket Team. But the game ended in a washout and it meant curtains for the Babar Azam-led side.
As Pakistan suffered an early exit from the T20 World Cup 2024, they faced a lot of criticism. Apart from that there were a lot of reports which claimed that things were not right in the Pakistan dressing room as players are not gelling well with each other.
Mohammad Rizwan while talking about Pakistan’s campaign in the T20 World Cup 2024 stated that a lot of things go wrong when a team loses. He made a bombshell statement, saying that things were not right in the team. Speaking to the media, he explained:
“When the team loses, a lot of things are going wrong, so you lose. It’s not like that in individual sports, because you can lose one match in individual sports. But being out of a tournament, it means that you have a lot of problems in many places, which are not being spot.”
We all didn’t play according to our expectations – Mohammad Rizwan
Mohammad Rizwan while further talking about the poor campaign of Pakistan in the T20 World Cup 2024 said it’s hard for them to point out where they fell short as overall it was a poor performance. Speaking about the same, he elaborated:
“Because if you see, sometimes we don’t finish well, sometimes our powerplay doesn’t go well, sometimes our death bowling doesn’t go well, sometimes our powerplay doesn’t go well.
“So when a team wins, they perform well at the end of the match. So you can’t say, what was our mistake? But we can say that as a team, we all didn’t play according to our expectations,” he concluded.
