Want To Continue With Same Momentum Against Australia In Semi-Final: Babar

Mumbai: Pakistan captain Babar Azam said that the team wants to continue the winning streak in the semi-finals of the ongoing T20 World Cup.

Pakistan beat Scotland by 72 runs in their final Super 12 match in Group 2 at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium in Sharjah on Sunday.

Experienced batsmen Mohammad Hafeez and Shoaib Malik played sensational innings to bundle out Pakistan for 189 runs in 20 overs.

“We are confident about each other’s ability. We are playing as a unit and hence playing consistent cricket. We wanted to bat first. We couldn’t play well in the PP. Hafeez played well and so did Malik,” said Babar after the win.

“He used his experience and played well towards the end. We have been confident. We would want to continue with the same momentum. Dubai is one of the best stadiums. We love the fans over here and there as well. The way they come and cheer for us is amazing,” he added.

Malik was adjudged the player of the match for his quick fifty. Pakistan will now take on Australia in the semi-final 2 of the T20 World Cup on Thursday.
