We will attempt to complete optimistically and afterward see: Babar

Previous captains including Moin Khan and Shoaib Malik have transparently scrutinized Babar's captaincy on air and felt that the weight of administration has impacted his batting.

At the point when the World Cup installations were first delivered, Britain Pakistan at the Eden Nurseries had a radiance around it. A marquee tie between two title holders and expected semifinalists on the penultimate day of the association stage was a mouth-watering prospect.

Come match-day, Britain is out of dispute and Pakistan everything except. Friday's pre-coordinate instructions with Babar Azam was in this manner generally about grave reflection and the future game-plan.

"I think the South Africa match cost us," said the Pakistan captain. "We ought to have won that [and] due to that we are in this stage. There is one match left. No one can say for sure. It's cricket; we will attempt to complete optimistically and afterward see."

At a certain point, it was recommended that Babar might consider stopping captaincy to zero in on his batting, as Virat Kohli for India exclusively. The 29-year-old, notwithstanding, dead-batted it and furthermore disregarded the pundits, yet in his own downplayed way.

"Standard kisi ko mashwara dena bhi hai, toh number sabke paas hai. Offering guidance on TV is simple. However, you can likewise message me," Babar added cheerfully.

Pakistan's circumstance is a perfect representation of its struggles from the 2019 World Cup where it needed to overcome Bangladesh in its last association match by north of 300 rushes to pip New Zealand on net run rate and slip into the elimination rounds. It couldn't in those days, and this time, it needs a 287-run triumph however Babar demanded that the group wouldn't think of it as a waste of time.

"It's to us and we will attempt to make it happen. We can't simply proceed to begin terminating aimlessly. There are a ton of things, similar to organization, which player will remain for how long. Assuming Fakhar [Zaman] is in for 20 or 30 overs, we can accomplish that. Then circle back to [Mohammad] Rizwan, Iftikhar [Ahmed]. We can do this."
