"We should have won the match by 9 or 10 wickets" : Sarfaraz Ahmed

[MoJoJoJo]

"It's a good team performance but there's a couple of things which we need to work on"

"In terms of batting, we should have won the match by 9 or 10 wickets. With regards to bowling, we need to take early wickets and start well. We need to look at these things and work on them"

"The ball didn't swing for the pacers early on which was a bit alarming, we'll try to work on that and rectify it before the match against India"

"The team is feeling good after winning the match. But everyone's eyes will be on the match against India and we will have to perform in all aspects. We'll try to play good cricket against them"

High standards .

Refreshing difference between Misbah and Sarfraz. One is looking to improve on a 8 wicket win, other used to say they did well to only lose by 50 runs

Should have been 4 down. Umpires saved Imam twice!

Just because Imam struggled on those two deliveries, doesn't mean others would have too

 

[Hasan123]

He is right. Sarfraz understands against the smaller teams we should be ruthless.

 

[The_Odd_One]

Should have won in 15 overs

 

[happydavy]

Tbh whether 8 wkt or 9 wkt victory, doesn't change anything. Both are equally ruthless.

Sarfraz is turning into an angry uncle. Throughout the game you just hear him crying and yelling at players into the stump mic. After the game complaining about an 8 wicket victory. Needs to cool down and be a bit calmer.

Yeah he is starting to annoy me. Boy if I was in his team I would have been so angry at him.

Superb mentality from Sarfraz. We need to be ruthless against minnows. I was too not satisfied with the performance.

Its a good thing that he is not satisfied. Shows that he wants the team to keep improving all the time. Sarfraz gets too much flak from the fans. He's one of the best captains in the world right now.

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Good mentality.High standards should be maintained against each team.

 

[mak36]

Mentality of a winner.

 

[Usman Chadda]

Well said. Fakhar and Babar should be very disappointed with their soft dismissals. Need to be ruthless on the 19th.

 

[Pete Rose]

Fair call

 

[TeamPak95]

Yep.

 

[SarfiBabarHaris]

well said!

 

[Syed1]

Yeah he is starting to annoy me. Boy if I was in his team I would have been so angry at him.

And then suddenly you find yourself no longer in the team.... now what was the use of all that anger, should have balled it up and hid it deep down within you.

 

[nextover666666]

He has the right mindset regardless of how much you won by you need to always look ways to improve and set the standards high but he should be happy they still won very comfortably

 

[B_Positive]

We will win vs India by 10 wickets. Fakhar will perform. Imam wont give his wicket. And bowlers will let us chase a below par target. Indian batting doesnt have that X factor.

 

[Oneking]

I said couple years back they were building a winning culture, now he is very well aware of his players strength he wants to dominate.

 

[IAJ]

«And you should have come out and open the innings to lead from front and show the guys how it’s done»

Winning by 8 wickets with with majority of the overs left is an empathic win, no need to have an indirectly go at the openers.

Just start concentrating on the bigger matches.

 

[ARK Rafay]

That's the mentality and spirit. Setting high standards if we want to be the best.

 

[pillionrider]

Wonder if Rohit Sharma will say this today

 

[fitCricFan]

You have to walk the talk. Simply thinking alone won't win you games. The difference in the body language between the two teams is significant.
I recall during the CT final our players looked hungry for a win and went all in. Today its depressing watching some of them. Md Amir seems to be a shade of his former self. Sarfraz instead of leading the team got out to a shot that he could have held on to for later.

Before anyone dismisses this as a dead game, remember, any cricket match between India and Pak is never inconsequntial. Fans on both sides are very passionate and only one side is going to win
