Shoaib Akhtar takes U-turn on Mohsin Naqvi after India thrash Pakistan, 'He is a good person...'
Shoaib Akhtar clarifies his Mohsin Naqvi remarks after Pakistan’s T20 World Cup loss to India. Here’s what he said and why it matters.
Pakistan are chasing a 176-run target at the moment after India posted 175 runs courtesy of a brilliant knock from Ishan Kishan who scored 77 runs. Pakistan have lost nine wickets in the run-chase and India are on top.
Pakistan captain Salman Ali Agha admitted his team underperformed against India, with spinners having an off day and early batting collapses hurting them. He said the pitch improved later, and Pakistan failed to adapt.
After weeks of debate about whether Pakistan's fixture against India would go ahead at the T20 World Cup, the action failed to deliver and it left the rivalry feeling more political than sporting.
