ZIM vs PAK: Can't Play So Badly With T20 World Cup Approaching Says Babar Azam

By IANS News April 24, 2021 • 18:20 PM View: 2516

Pakistan cricket team skipper Babar Azam on Saturday said that the 19-run loss to Zimbabwe in the second T20 International here did not bode well for his team as it prepares for the T20 World Cup in India later this year.

The home team notched up their maiden T20I win against the former world champions to level the three-match series 1-1. After electing to bowl, Pakistan restricted the hosts to 118 for 9, but was bundled out for 99 with Luke Jongwe destroying their innings, taking four wickets. Only three players in the touring side made it to double digits and Azam blamed the middle order for the debacle.
