Shadab Khan, vice-captain of Pakistan’s white-ball cricket team, expressed optimism for the tournament’s ICC T20 World Cup after his team defeated the Netherlands on Sunday in Perth, Australia.
After two straight losses to India and Zimbabwe, Pakistan defeated the Netherlands by six wickets to claim their first victory in the massive event. Shadab, though, is optimistic that Pakistan’s victory today could shift the course of the competition.
“In each of the games we lost, we came close. The two games were much under our control, but we couldn’t finish strong. We had the belief that we were a superior team than the results revealed, despite the fact that we were defeated in both games, Shadab remarked during the news conference following the game.
