Zaheer accepts Babar Azam ought to have completed Hasan Alis share of overs prior and saved Rauf and Afridi for some other time. Babar began with Rauf and went to Shaheen a piece faster. On the off chance that he had spread that with Hasan being pressed in the center, it may have shifted the direction of the game since you have 12 chunks of your primary bowler toward the end, he added.
