Shan Masood, a top-order batsman for Pakistan’s cricket team, expressed disappointment at not being able to play through the entire ICC T20 World Cup match for his squad after his team was defeated by Zimbabwe on Thursday.After the game, Shan spoke to the media and admitted that he accepted responsibility for his team’s inability to win the game.
“I tried playing ball by ball. I believe I was in a good position to win the game and take charge. I’m quite unhappy because these are the games you should be winning for your nation, especially if you’re the only remaining batsman.Before being stumped by Regis Chakabva off Sikandar Raza, Shan had scored 44 runs off 38 balls.
The top batter claimed that losing two games after being so close to winning is demoralising for the squad and that returning to the field on Sunday and giving our all is the only way to boost morale.”We committed mistakes in all three areas, and while Zimbabwe scored runs against respectable bowling in the first three overs, you also have to give credit to the opposition. I believe that while batting, we had the game under control until the 13th over; however, we ended up losing. Three games are at our disposal.
