Pakistan Captain “Babar Azam” Left To Wonder What-If

Pakistani skipper Babar Azam recently talked to the media after the first loss of a test match against the West Indies.

“The way this match panned out – you could see the momentum kept swaying from one side to the other. We tried to give it our 100%. Our boys put in the effort, our bowlers and fielders put in the effort.

But in the final session the one or two chances that came our way in the form of catches – had we availed of those, the result of the match could have been different.”

Pakistan needs to work on the loopholes to overcome their dark nightmare, where they lose a match, which they should have won it easily but due to lack of miss fields and drop catches cost Pakistan a big loss.

Now, it all depends on the final test, will Pakistani batsmen showcase their true class or West Indies whitewash the visitors?
