Win Projections to be updated soon
Shan Masood, the captain, turned to Sajid Khan and Hasan Ali to start the last innings at the Sydney Cricket Ground with 130 runs to defend. During the first session, Aamer Jamal, who has been brilliant in his maiden series with the ball, was placed on hold and made no introductions. Shan Masood has been under heavy fire for this, and team director Mohammed Hafeez has also voiced surprise at the choice.
Mohammed Hafeez stated that Jamal should have bowled earlier, but he still feels that it was entirely the captain’s decision. He supported the recently named captain, explaining that the surface gave some turn, so Sajid got off to a good start with the ball.
The skipper will decide. Although it’s the captain’s ploy, all of the bowlers were accessible. The rest is up to Masood, but we wanted to bowl more from the offspinner since this track can provide a lot from the far end. Although in theory I think Jamal ought to have bowled sooner, you have to agree with the captain’s choice because they are the best judges on the field, according to Hafeez, who ESPNcricinfo cited.
We learned difficult knowledge: Mohammed Hafeez
Hafeez thinks that because the squad was unable to seize the opportunities during the three-match series, they lost every game against Australia. The squad didn’t deserve to lose 3-0, and he thinks the score could have been different if the players had used their chances. However, he is pleased with how some of the players performed throughout the series.
“We encountered difficult lessons. As a group, we had our opportunities, but we were unable to seize them. While I believe as a team we accomplished some really nice things this series, we may not have deserved to win 3-0; yet, the 3-0 result was the result of our inability to prevail in key moments of the game.
Although we lost the series, I believed we could compete from the outset based on the players’ abilities. There have been little glimpses of it. These games had several chances that we ought to have seized since they could have changed the outcome, particularly in Melbourne when they were down 16 to 4. Although we might have only needed to pursue 140–150, it ultimately exceeded 300, according to Hafeez.
