Salman Ali Agha could not answer why 4 spinners were dropped

Salman said, ‘We went with four spinners but they were not having a good day. In some parts the schemes could not be implemented properly. We did not start well with the bat. If you lose three-four wickets in the powerplay, you are always chasing in the match. Salman admitted that the pitch was better for batting in the second innings but his players did not play as per expectations.

After the defeat, Salman Ali Agha said – now waiting for the next match

He said, ‘Batting was a bit difficult in the first innings and the ball was also gripping. The pitch played better in the second innings but we did not bowl as per the conditions and we also did not play as expected with the bat. The Pakistan captain said, ‘We have a match in a few days and we are looking forward to it. We have to win that and qualify. Pakistan has to play its last match against Namibia and will have to win this match to make it to the Super Eight.
