It’s easy to say that Shadab Khan of Pakistan had one of his worst performances in a cricket match when Pakistan faced Sri Lanka in the Asia Cup final. In the fifth over of Sri Lanka’s innings, the all-rounder stumbled while attempting to save an overthrow, and the ball struck his head. He had to leave the field but returned right after to finish his four overs’ worth of work with excellent figures of 1 for 28. However, as Sri Lanka’s innings progressed, his day got worse and worse. When the left-hander reached 46 in the 17th over and was bowled by Haris Rauf, he dropped Bhanuka Rajapaksa.Even though it was a difficult opportunity, Shadab, one of the Pakistani team’s stronger fielders, settled in under the skier before spilling the ball. In the following over, Shadab and Asif Ali collided as they attempted to grab Rajapaka’s catch once more; this time, the ball also sailed for a six.
After the match, Shadab Khan took to Twitter to take ‘full responsibility’ for ‘letting his team down’ by dropping the crucial catches of Rajapaksa. “Catches win matches. Sorry, I take responsibility for this loss. I let my team down. Positives for team, @iNaseemShah, @HarisRauf14, @mnawaz94, and the entire bowling attack was great. @iMRizwanPak fought hard. The entire team tried their best. Congratulations to Sri Lanka,” he tweeted.
“Want to congratulate Sri Lanka. Outstanding cricket. The way we dominated them early, their partnership after that was outstanding. The pitch was good, like the Dubai wicket, always fun to play here. As a batting unit, we didn’t perform up to our potential. We didn’t finish the way we would’ve liked to (with the ball). But there are lots of positives from the tournament. Our fielding wasn’t up to the mark today, and our middle-order couldn’t finish well todayOur fielding was subpar today, and our middle order struggled to put runs on the board. But there were also several solo performances, including those by Rizwan, Shadab, Nawaz, and Naseem. the manner in which Naseem communicated throughout his first competition. A component of the game is fine-tuning the bat. It is beneficial to gain knowledge from these ups and downs. But you need to cut down on your errors,” Pakistan skipper Babar Azam stated during the post-game awards ceremony.
