T20 World Cup: Babar Azam of Pakistan defeats Hasan Ali after being caught in the semi-finals

Despite admitting that Hasan Ali’s downfall was the turning point of the match, Pakistani captain Babar Azam gave the momentum a boost. the team was eliminated ICC Men’s T20 World Cup semi-final.

“The turning point of the match was the fall of Matthew Wade. A new batsman will come then, and it would be a different scenario and maybe it would be a different outcome, ”Babar said after Australia hit a 177 goal, leaving it in the lurch.

“I can’t even think of leaving Hasan Ali. He is my main pelota player and has won many matches in Pakistan. Players leave catches, but he’s a fighter, and I’ll protect him. Not everyone does it every day. There is a day that plays out. It wasn’t his day. It’s down, and we’ll lift the mood. People will talk, but we keep playing. ”

Running 21 of 10 balls, Wade ended Shaheen Afridi’s attempt on a skier, and Hasan sprinted to the left from a deep middle wicket and spilled the catch. Wade hit the next three balls in the sixth, including a hilarious two-turn shot to seal the deal in style.

Despite the fall, it was a tremendous collaboration between Wade and Marcus Stoinis that rescued Australia. The wicketkeep who had a chance to bat for the second time in this tournament said he didn’t aim for Shaheen.

“We didn’t address him, actually. We started to think that Marcus Stoinis could play a great innings towards the end so we could get the total. I think he freed me from the ways he played so I could do what I did at the end there. Of course, I was playing a slightly longer limit. But we felt his left arm, the slow ball would turn me on, ”he said.

“We certainly didn’t get into the goal of the game. It’s a great ball, and I think I’m lucky tonight. ‘
