Usama Mir replaced Shadab Khan as concussion sub
Meanwhile, spinner Usama Mir replaced Khan in PAK vs SA match as concussion sub. Usama was dropped from the playing XI as Wasim Jnr. was added to the squad. Mir bowled decently but could not manage to win the game for his side in Chennai. Meanwhile, Pakistan are now virtually out of the semi-final’s race after suffering yet another loss in World Cup.
“Yes, to be honest. We were very close but disappointed not to finish on the winning side,” said Pakistan skipper Babar Azam. “We fought back very well. In the batting we, were 10-15 runs short. But the way we bowled was good. The spinners and the pacers were brilliant. To be honest, it’s part of the game. If the umpire had given OUT, it would have favored us. It’s Umpire’s Call on the drs and we have to take it.
We showed great fight and took the game to the last over. If we had won this game, we would have kept ourselves alive in the competition. Yes. We will try our best in the next three matches. We will look to be at our best and play for Pakistan,” he added.
