If Shafique and Saim Ayub could have batted normally and added some more runs to the team, it would have been difficult for Australia to win this match. Also, Babar Azam and Rizwan's batting cannot be said to have been very good. Babar Azam batted with 84 and Rizwan 61 strike rates. We saw in the end that Australia lost 8 wickets in chasing down 203 runs setted by Pakistan, if they could have added 30 more runs, the outcome of the match could have been a little different.
Once again, Saim Ayub and Abdullah Shafique have not played well. They both are doing dismiss in every single game and I don't why PCB selects these two openers for every single game.
They wanted to check them across all formats in T20, one day and in the test matches too. First of all in the test games, both these players always opened the game and always made a bad start while on the other side in T20, Saim Ayub played well but he should need to play more domestic and league events. And now today we have seen their disappointing performance in the one day game too.
