Pakistan suffered a very shameful defeat - Shoaib Akhtar
According to Shoaib Akhtar, Babar Azam's decision to bowl first after winning the toss was wrong. During a conversation on his YouTube channel, he said,
This is a very shameful defeat. It is a matter of great concern that Pakistan won the toss on such a good batting wicket and decided to bowl first. This seemed a very strange decision to me. However, we cannot underestimate Pakistan after just one bad performance and the same thing applies to the Indian team also.
Let us tell you that after this victory against Pakistan, the Indian team now has to play its next match against Sri Lanka. If Team India wins this match also then they will reach the final.
