The displeasure on his face could clearly be seen after Pakistan’s unconvincing performance in the finals even after being the favorites.
Pakistani pacers bowled brilliantly sending half of Sri Lanka’s batters back early in the game but the Lankans bounced back magnificently thanks to a wonderful knock by Bhanuka Rajapakse with 71 off 45 balls that took the momentum away from Pakistan.
Pakistan made blunders on field too dropping crucial catches and their star batters also disappointed with the bat, as Babar got out very early and Rizwan played a slow knock that eventually mounted the pressure on Middle order batsmen.
India will next play Pakistan in the upcoming T20 world cup in Australia.
