“But in the batting time, we had our collapse. The batting was not up to the mark. When me and (Mohammad) Rizwan were out, Shan (Masood) and Shadab (Khan) built a partnership, but after that collapse we did not finish well,” he concluded.

Shoaib Akhtar lashed out on Babar Azam

Former Pakistan great Shoaib Akhtar has also shared his comment on the matter and called Azam a bad captain.

While talking on his youtube channel, Akhtar said, “I don’t know why is it so hard for you guys to understand. I have said this before, and I am saying it again that with our top and middle-order, we can achieve big success. We can’t win consistently. Pakistan have a bad captain. Pakistan are out of the World Cup. Nawaz has bowled the last over in the three games we have lost.”
