T20 World Cup 2021: This Time Our Main Strength Is Batting - Babar Azam

Pakistan skipper Babar Azam exuded confidence about his team’s batting this year and termed it as their strongest point in the ongoing T20 World Cup. He expects the batsmen to perform well this time and also back up the bowlers in the field.

Ahead of Pakistan’s first match of the Super 12 stage against India, Babar stated that he’s hopeful of producing better results this time around and forget the history. Pakistan has failed to defeat India in the World Cups and has an 0-5 record in T20 World Cups.

“I think this time our main strength is batting. The way our batters have been performing over the last couple of months, I am very hopeful that we will produce some good results due to our batting and also do better in the field.“

“We have forgotten what we have done in the past and we are trying to focus on the future. We will try to do better on the field in this match and we will try to produce better results,” Babar was quoted as saying in a press conference.

Everybody is excited, and as you know, that the first game is always very crucial, and we will try to produce some good performances in the first game and try to carry forward those performances.
