In an interview, Shoaib Akhtar said that batting in the second T20 was conducive to batting wickets, 200 runs could easily have been made but the national player could not show the maturity in the batting and Pakistan lost the chance of winning, Haris Sohail and Fakhrman. Babar Azam tried hard for the success of the team but I was sad that all his efforts were wasted, except Babar did not see any player who could make the bowlers.
The former fast bowler said that despite the win, Australia did not play very well, Steve Smith made a half century but did not show any special technique in his batting. Mohammad Aamir also had three fours, if Muhammad had been in Aamir's place, he would have hit at least three to four bouncers and if it had not rained he could have lost the first Twenty20 match in Pakistan.
