Shoaib Akhtar commented on the performance of the Pakistan national team in the final of the 2022 Asia Cup
On September 11, the final of the 2022 Asia Cup took place: the Pakistan national team sensationally lost to Sri Lanka and missed the chance to win a major trophy. This defeat came as a complete surprise. On the eve, the ex-player of the Pakistan national team, Shoaib Akhtar commented on the performance of the Pakistan national team in the final of the 2022 Asia Cup.
The expert noted that this defeat should harden Babar Azam and the squad. Shoaib stated that there are never great victories without failures.
“Of course, I am not happy at all that Pakistan lost this final, which did not include India. But all teams sooner or later have to lose the grand final — it tempers you, makes you stronger. Pakistan has grown a great generation, and the 2022 Asia Cup showed that now this team cannot be underestimated. There are no big victories without defeats — it needs to be understood and accepted,” Shoaib Akhtar stated.
Recall that the T20 World Cup starts in Australia in 5 weeks. Pakistan was in the same group as India, South Africa, and Bangladesh.
