Legendary Pakistan all-rounder Shahid Afridi has said that limited overs captain Babar Azam should have finished off the third ODI against Zimbabwe.
Azam scored a superb 125, which came off 125 balls and included 13 boundaries and a six, but was dismissed in the penultimate over of the match.
Even though Pakistan managed to end the game as a draw, they lost in the Super Over.
Afridi admitted that this will serve as a “big learning curve” for Azam and hopes to see the men in green come back stronger in the three-match T20 series, which begins on Saturday.
Well played Zimbabwe great win! Great innings by Babar Azam but should have finished off the game as he was the main man in-form. Big learning curve for Babar, and a good wake-up call for the team, hope to see them stronger in the T20I series.
