Pakistan captain Babar Azam on Saturday addressed the media forward of the T20 World Cup remaining towards England and it was then that he was requested about Prime Minister’s Shehbaz Sharif’s tweet after India’s semi-final loss towards England. In his tweet, the Pakistan Prime Minister had taken a dig at Team India, saying: “So, this Sunday, it’s: 152/0 vs 170/0 #T20WorldCup.” During the pre-match press convention, Babar was requested about such social-media posts and whether or not they are likely to put additional strain on the aspect.

“There is no pressure as such. But sorry to say, I didn’t see this tweet so I have no knowledge of it. But yes, we just try to give our best against the opposition,” stated Babar.

In the semi-final between India and England, the latter chased down the goal of 169 with all ten wickets in hand and 4 overs to spare. Last 12 months, Pakistan had defeated India will all ten wickets in hand whereas chasing 150 within the 2021 T20 World Cup.

Babar Azam-led Pakistan will tackle England within the remaining of the T20 World Cup on the Melbourne Cricket Ground. Heading into the summit conflict, all of the speak is how there may be an uncanny resemblance between the continued event and the 1992 50-over World Cup, which Pakistan received below the management of Imran Khan.

“Ofcourse, the similarities are there. We will try to win the trophy, it is a big honour for me to lead this team and especially at this big ground. We will try to give our 100 per cent and win. We did not start well, but the way team came back, they fought like tigers. We will look to continue from here and we will look to give our best,” stated Babar throughout a pre-match press convention.

In each the 1992 and 2022 World Cups, Pakistan started their marketing campaign with a loss on the Melbourne Cricket Ground. In each tournaments, Pakistan suffered a defeat by the hands of India as effectively.

The resemblance goes additional — in each tournaments, Pakistan snuck into the semi-finals by a single level on the final day.
