Pak scam in jersey too
Atiq Uj Zaman wrote on X that, Pakistan team has been given such low quality jerseys in which players are wet with sweat during the match. He said that this happens when given to friends instead of tend professionals. Our players are soaked with sweat and corruption is dripping more than sweat. Giving examples of jerseys from other teams including India, Zaman said that they were wearing dry-fit while Pakistani players were caught cheap items.
Meanwhile, defeating the UAE by 41 runs and made a place in Pakistan’s Super Four, but their batting is again in the circle of questions. The team could only reach 146/9. Openers and middle orders are proving to be a flop continuously. Sym Ayub has not been able to open an account in three matches. In the last over, Shaheen Shah Afridi made the score a little competitive by hitting an unbeaten 29 off 14 balls.
After the match, captain Salman Ali Aga also admitted that the team’s batting has been weak especially in the middle overs. He said that, we have completed the work but in the middle overs we have to do better. If played correctly, the score would go to 170–180. Shaheen has now become the match winner, his batting has also improved. Abrar Ahmed has been fantastic, he has given us a comeback in matches.
