He said that the batsmen performed brilliantly in these tough conditions. As a captain i decided that we set the target by batting first in tough conditions and our bowlers defend this target.
Babar also stated that I will give 100% credit to the bowler for the win. Our fielding was also very good, which increased the pressure on the Netherlands.
He also said that Naseem Shah bowled brilliantly with the new ball, then the way he finished in the last overs was brilliant.
