I am extremely happy with the way the Pakistan cricket team performed at the recently concluded ICC T20 World Cup. Though they lost to England in the final the Pakistani pacers showed their mettle. They did not allow English players to bag the Cup very easily.

I appreciate Pakistan for putting in their best effort. Had the Pakistani batters made 20 more runs, then I am sure they would have lifted the trophy this time. It was one of the best final matches I have ever watched in the recent past. In-form batters of England had to struggle against Pakistani pacers. If Pakistan manage to develop their middle order, then I am sure they can be the best team.

Pakistani selectors have to look for players like Mohammad Haris for their middle order. Even skipper Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan have to improve their style of batting if they want to keep opening the innings. Pakistan need batters of Mohammed Yusuf and Saeed Anwar calibre to be the best in the race.
