‘He couldn’t finish the games but...': Shaheen Afridi's compelling 'Babar Azam' remark after third-straight loss vs NZ

Hindustan Times  

New Zealand asserted their dominance in the T20I series against Pakistan with a series win on Wednesday, securing victory with two matches still to be played, courtesy of a record-breaking performance by opener Finn Allen. Pakistan's Babar Azam bats while being watched by New Zealand's wicketkeeper Tim Seifert during the third Twenty20 international cricket match between New Zealand and Pakistan Finn Allen emerged as the standout performer, building on his impressive display in the previous match, scoring 74 off 41 balls. Meanwhile, Pakistan proved expensive with the ball again as their leading pacer, Haris Rauf, conceded 60 off his four overs, while captain Shaheen Afridi conceded 43. Captain Afridi spoke in detail about Babar's performances in the series and stated that the batting unit failed to support the former Pakistan skipper, which denied Babar a chance to finish the matches.
