Salman Butt criticize Babar Azam and his team’s batting performance against Sri Lanka. Former Pakistan captain Salman Butt was unimpressed with the batting of the Babar Azam-led side in the Asia Cup match against Sri Lanka.
Salman Butt unimpress with Babar Azam-led side’s batting performance against Sri Lanka in the Asia Cup. Pakistan were bowled out for 121 runs after being put into bat. In response, Sri Lanka overcame early setbacks to win the match by five wickets and with three overs to spare. Butt said that because most of the players have grown up playing tape-ball cricket, the Pakistan batters should have been able to read the Sri Lankan spinners better.
“The manner in which Pakistan batters were dismissed was quite disappointing. They’ve grown up playing tape ball cricket. How can they fail to notice Hasaranga’s variations on the finger? Straight finger indicates that the ball will spin away, while behind the hand indicates that the delivery will come in. In a previous match, Iftikhar Ahmed was unable to read a googly. He couldn’t choose the variation in this game, either “Butt stated this during a debate on his YouTube channel.

Salman Butt chastised the players for their shot selection.
“I wouldn’t say Pakistan’s batters had a bad day based on the shots they took. It’s what I’d call poor shot selection. If they had bad luck, we could have said it was a bad day for them. However, batters were being dismissed because they were unable to read the bowlers “He stated.
Pakistan and Sri Lanka will square off in the Asia Cup final on Sunday.
Sri Lanka has won the Asia Cup five times, while Pakistan has won it only twice.
