‘Whole country will attack Nawaz but it was Babar Azam…’: Wasim Akram on Pakistan captain's ‘massive error’ vs SA

Hindustan Times  

First things first, credit to Pakistan for making a match of it. South Africa always had their noses in front in the 271-run chase but Pakistan hung in there and when Aiden Markram threw his wicket away with 21 runs still to get, Pakistan, for the first time, got a hold of the match. Instead of bringing leg-spinner Mir back into the attack, who had a better chance of foxing the lower-order batters, Babar gave the ball to left-arm spinner Mohammad Nawaz, who does not particularly have a good record in the death overs. ‘Didn’t understand why Babar gave the ball to Nawaz when Usama had overs': Akram "There were a couple of mistakes at the end. I know the whole country will attack Nawaz but at that time Usama Mir had two overs left.
