00:00Hello and welcome to SportsZoom. I am your host, Najeeb-ul-Hasnain.
00:12The fourth T20 match of the series between Pakistan and New Zealand will be played at Khazafi Stadium, Lahore.
00:18Mohammad Rizwan's participation is based on fitness.
00:22The matches will be very exciting.
00:25Because we have lost a match to the B.C. team.
00:30Now let's go to Lahore and see the situation.
00:32Let's show you the details in this report.
00:34Kiwis' young squad has also become a threat.
00:37Winning the series has become a big challenge for the national team.
00:44In New Zealand's third T20, Patta has equalised the series.
00:47For a decisive comeback, Pakistan needs to win both the matches.
00:51After Azam Khan, wicket-keeper Mohammad Rizwan has also become unfit.
00:58In the remaining matches, his participation is based on fitness.
01:04Shaheen Afiqi and Naseem Shah have also been eliminated.
01:07Mohammad Amir and Imran Haseen have a lot of responsibility at Khazafi Stadium.
01:14The Green Shirts have won the T20 series for the last time against the Kiwis in 2018.
01:19The fourth match of this series will be played at Khazafi Stadium in Lahore on Friday night.
01:26To talk about this series, we have Basit Ali with us.
01:31Basit brother, Assalam-o-Alaikum. Welcome to the show.
01:33First of all, I would like to know, the team that was being called a C or D category team.
01:39It seemed that Pakistan would easily sweep this series.
01:45But something else happened here.
01:48The team decorated with stars, our full-strength team, lost the one-sided match.
01:54What do you have to say?
01:55Assalam-o-Alaikum, Najeeb.
01:57I think everyone was saying this.
01:59I was also saying this.
02:01After Finn Allen, the way Finn Allen was beaten in the New Zealand series.
02:06And the way Fahad Pahlwan withdrew himself due to injury.
02:10This is a C or D team.
02:13There should not be two opinions in this.
02:15I will still say this, this is a C team.
02:18Because all the players are busy in their IPL.
02:21And as you said, we were a full-strength team.
02:24Absolutely right.
02:25We were winning a match.
02:27We won the toss at 90 and bowled.
02:30And when we bowled at 90, we should have won this match.
02:36No doubt, I didn't feel so bad in the World Cup.
02:43When we were coming back from Afghanistan, I could understand that.
02:47But this match that we are losing, this will be remembered.
02:51This is a wake-up call for us for the World Cup.
02:53People are still talking about England.
02:55England's tour is not that easy, you know.
02:57But this is a wake-up call for the World Cup.
02:59I pray that we reach the second round.
03:01Wasif bhai, we were told that the squad that we have selected...
03:06...is based on domestic and PSL performance.
03:12Is this correct?
03:14I don't agree with this.
03:16You have made a team based on PSL.
03:19How did you make a team based on domestic?
03:21Even in PSL, Mohd. Ali made the most of his name in the stand-by.
03:27Ahmed Shehzad has also performed in domestic.
03:31But he doesn't come in the slot.
03:34We have a lot of openers.
03:36Where is Shahnawaz Dhani?
03:39I mean, we can raise questions, right?
03:42The selection committee...
03:44Look, the chief selector of the selection committee should be the most important.
03:48He should come and tell us that all four of us have made a team.
03:52We should know what he thinks while making the team.
03:56I don't agree that this is a team based on domestic performance.
04:02Yes, we have made a team based on PSL.
04:04But, just like Mohd. Ali...
04:07Usman Khan didn't play in domestic, right?
04:10He came in the PSL stand-by.
04:12Where did Mohd. Amin play in domestic?
04:14In four years.
04:16So, in PSL...
04:18I mean, you chose him based on preference.
04:20I speak straightforwardly.
04:23I pray that things get better in the future, but it doesn't seem so.
04:28You mentioned Mohd. Amin.
04:30A few days ago, Mohd. Amin said that...
04:33Pakistan's pace attack is a world-class pace attack.
04:37Shaheen, Naseem and I are in it.
04:40If we don't win the World Cup with this pace attack, I'll be very surprised.
04:45Do you agree?
04:48What difference does it make if someone says it?
04:51Should I say that Pakistan will win all the matches in the World Cup?
04:55I just tweeted that if Waseem Bhai, Shoaib Akhtar and Shahid Afridi...
04:59...retire, Pakistan will win the World Cup.
05:02What's there to say?
05:04You...
05:05Look, Amin has just retired and joined the Pakistan team.
05:10Is he a 145-plus bowler?
05:13Is there anyone other than Naseem Shah who is 145-plus?
05:17Harisov is sitting outside due to an injury.
05:20So, it's easy to say. It's a matter of delivery.
05:23When you deliver, we'll talk.
05:26But this is a mind game.
05:29You can say this to boost your bowlers.
05:34But I don't agree with this.
05:36Pakistan's fast bowling attack...
05:42...after the Asia Cup, when Virat Kohli and Rahul hit...
05:46...it was completely down.
05:48So, at this time, should we say that our pace attack is good?
05:51First, let's increase the pace.
05:53Let's do 145 and then we'll see.
05:55And the question you asked...
05:57...the World Cup...
06:00...after winning the World Cup...
06:03...you're not winning with the C and D teams.
06:06You're saying that you're winning the World Cup.
06:08What is your team doing?
06:10Is there anything unique?
06:12Did you score 100 runs in 6 overs?
06:15How can you say that?
06:17Can you win with bowling?
06:19The batsmen won't do anything.
06:21There are a lot of things.
06:23I don't agree with this.
06:25You're right. There are a lot of things.
06:27There are a few things that are out of our understanding.
06:29You saw that Imad Waseem and Mohammad Aamir...
06:31...got their retirement back.
06:33And after 4 years, when Aamir comes back...
06:37...they take 2 victories.
06:39They sit in the next match.
06:41And Imad Waseem hasn't played yet.
06:43So, what is the management's thought process?
06:46Everyone knows about the retirement.
06:48Why hasn't Imad Waseem played 3 matches?
06:50The management can give a better decision.
06:52What I feel is that...
06:54...it's a matter of his fitness.
06:56He has gone to Kakul.
06:58He hasn't trained there.
07:00I think he had a knee operation.
07:02And the way he was running in PSL...
07:04...I had a doubt there.
07:06But being an all-round performer...
07:09...he has performed in the last 4 matches...
07:11...in the stock class.
07:14The first priority should have been Imad Waseem.
07:17But he played Aamir in one match.
07:19The management can give a better decision...
07:23...as to whether they have a plan for Imad Waseem.
07:26But if you ask me...
07:28...I would have played Imad Waseem...
07:30...in both the first and second matches.
07:32And I would have played him in the third match as well.
07:34Because you need fitness in America and the West Indies.
07:40And the way he is a fast bowler...
07:42...with his quick arm actions...
07:44...it can be beneficial.
07:46But it's too early to say that.
07:49There are still 40 days left in the tournament.
07:51And he needs fitness.
07:52That's right.
07:53Basit, tell us...
07:54...16 innings have passed...
07:56...and Mark Chapman hasn't been able to handle us.
07:58Let's talk about the data.
08:01Hasn't anyone been able to find a weakness...
08:03...for that one player?
08:06You said 16 innings.
08:08Chapman...
08:09...he won a match last year...
08:11...against New Zealand.
08:13And the way he played yesterday...
08:16...he played top class innings.
08:18I mean...
08:20...he won a one-sided match.
08:22This shows that...
08:24...even if a batter stays in T20...
08:27...and he is a match changer...
08:29...he will win a match.
08:31I remember last time...
08:33...Phillip Smith came...
08:35...and he did a good batting.
08:37He is a great batsman.
08:39But the number of hits is so low.
08:41Utilize that.
08:43We have a match on 25th.
08:45Let's see...
08:47...if the plan changes.
08:49I mean the management...
08:51...that we have at the moment...
08:53...Azhar, Mahmood, Yusuf and...
08:55...Wahab Riaz...
08:57...what mindset do they go with...
08:59...and what do they plan?
09:01Let's see.
09:02I pray that we play well...
09:04...and win the series.
09:06If we lose the match...
09:08...the stain...
09:10...won't be on me.
09:12It will be on the team.
09:14That's right.
09:16We always say that...
09:18...the team that lost...
09:20...should be credited.
09:22But it's your fault.
09:24It's your fault.
09:26Your performance is so bad...
09:28...that the C and T teams...
09:30...are beating you.
09:32I want to ask you again...
09:34...this is not a joke.
09:36This is the same bowling...
09:38...that will go to the World Cup.
09:40Give or take.
09:42This team...
09:44...is so inexperienced...
09:46...in New Zealand...
09:48...many boys won't make it to the World Cup.
09:50We are not able to defend 180 from them.
09:52That's good.
09:54You are not able to defend...
09:56...178.
09:58So...
10:00...where did the bowling attack come from?
10:02You gave the answer...
10:04...that our bowling attack is the best.
10:06So...
10:08...defend at least 178.
10:10A kid scored two outs...
10:12...in the 27th inning.
10:14Where did Naseem and Shaheen go?
10:16We talk about...
10:18...the batters.
10:20We forget about the bowlers.
10:22It's their duty too.
10:24They are playing too.
10:26They have the ball too.
10:28We don't answer their questions.
10:30It's surprising.
10:32Thank God...
10:34...Aamir didn't play.
10:36Let's see what happens.
10:38Basit, I understand it's too early.
10:40It's just the beginning...
10:42...of his international career.
10:44Especially for Pakistan.
10:46If we talk about Usman Khan...
10:48...how do you see his future...
10:50...after seeing his performance?
10:52Also, tell us...
10:54...is he the right choice for number 4?
10:56Or did we change his position...
10:58...and pressurize him for no reason?
11:00My best wishes for Usman.
11:02To be honest...
11:04...he took such a big step...
11:06...and he has been banned for 5 years.
11:08My best wishes are...
11:10...may God bless him with a good performance.
11:14If you are asking...
11:16...my opinion...
11:18...then...
11:20...finger crossed.
11:22The way he is playing...
11:24...he will face a lot of problems.
11:26Remember my words...
11:28...no one will be able to hit...
11:30...an international baller...
11:32...who is 150 plus.
11:34You can beat a baller who is 130 plus...
11:36...or a baller who is 135 plus.
11:38But hitting a baller who is...
11:40...145 plus or 150 plus...
11:42...is not that easy.
11:44Basit, stay with us.
11:46Basit Ali is with us...
11:48...and we have to talk to him...
11:50...about some important issues.
11:52Don't go anywhere.
11:56Basit Ali is with us.
11:58We are talking to him...
12:00...about the series...
12:02...and some important topics.
12:04Basit, tell me...
12:06...the way cricket is getting...
12:08...faster...
12:10...in T20 format...
12:12...does the role of...
12:14...inning anchor matter...
12:16...or does it matter...
12:18...if the batsmen...
12:20...are not able to...
12:22...hit the ball...
12:24...in T20 format?
12:26If we talk about the last match...
12:28...Rizwan and Babar...
12:30...made 59 runs...
12:32...on 50 balls.
12:34That is very slow.
12:36That is why our total was less.
12:38The score on Pindi...
12:40...where we see, time and again...
12:42...200 is made and there is a chase.
12:44I don't agree.
12:46Anchor role in T20...
12:48...doesn't make sense.
12:50We are not in 50 overs.
12:52You need a bottom end player...
12:54...for Babar and Rizwan.
12:56I am saying this openly...
12:58...in your program.
13:00You will have to use a bottom end...
13:02...in 6 overs.
13:04You will have to hit early on...
13:06...from mid-off and mid-on.
13:08When you hit from above...
13:10...you will get a cut and a pull.
13:12You won't get a lapeta...
13:14...or a time.
13:16If you play a ground shot...
13:18...there is a 30% chance...
13:20...you will lose.
13:22The power play that...
13:24...Jay Surya and Kalu Vitrana...
13:26...used in the 1960 World Cup...
13:28...Babar and Rizwan will have to...
13:30...implement it.
13:32If they don't...
13:34...what do you call 59 in 50 balls?
13:38There should be a minimum of 75 in 50 balls.
13:40This was the reason for the loss.
13:4259 in 50 overs.
13:44Shadab did it from below.
13:46Everyone says Shadab did the recovery.
13:48What recovery?
13:50He played his part.
13:52You played your part.
13:54Did you do it?
13:56Neither of you did it.
13:58Rizwan got 3 free hits.
14:00He couldn't take advantage of it.
14:02What can I say?
14:04It's a straight away answer.
14:06You will have to use a bottom end...
14:08...especially from above mid-off.
14:10It's easy to hit a lapeta.
14:12If you hit from above mid-off...
14:14...you will disturb the baller's line.
14:16Okay.
14:18We will come to Shadab.
14:20I would like to ask you about Babar Azam.
14:22I keep saying the same thing.
14:24You removed him from the captaincy.
14:26You made Shaheen.
14:28Then you removed Shaheen and made him again.
14:30Why did you have to remove Shaheen so soon?
14:32The question is...
14:34...how do you see the captaincy...
14:36...of these two matches?
14:38If you lose to such a team...
14:40...you will blame the captaincy.
14:42I agree.
14:44You lost the match.
14:46You lost the match...
14:48...because of bad bowling.
14:50I said 59 runs in 50 balls.
14:52That was the major role.
14:54Shaheen and Naseem Shah...
14:56...shouldn't have been out early on.
14:58That was the role.
15:00The partnership of 50 balls...
15:02...and Shaheen Shah Afridi...
15:04...and Naseem Shah...
15:06...shouldn't have been out early on...
15:08...and should have given runs.
15:10That was the reason for losing the match.
15:12Ibrahim and Shadab bowled well.
15:14Shadab will have to be out.
15:16He bowled 24 runs in 3 overs.
15:18Iftikhar bowled one over.
15:20Abbas Afridi bowled well too.
15:22He bowled 27 runs in 3 overs.
15:24He should have bowled 2 out.
15:26He should have bowled 2 out.
15:28If you bowled 2 out in 3 overs...
15:30...you would have won.
15:32It's not like you can bowl a dot.
15:34If you bowl 1, 2, 3 dots...
15:36...and 3 sixes on 3 balls...
15:38...you are out.
15:40The striker has to strike.
15:42Basit, let's talk about Shadab.
15:44Shadab made a big statement...
15:46...in the last match.
15:48He said that...
15:50...consistency is not so important...
15:52...in T20.
15:54It's not necessary to play consistently.
15:56It matters to play an impactful inning.
15:58We know that...
16:00...our players don't play...
16:02...attacking cricket like that.
16:04What is Shadab's message?
16:06I agree with Shadab.
16:08I agree with Shadab.
16:10You can't make runs every time.
16:12If you play selfishly...
16:14...you can make runs.
16:16If you want to be an impactful player...
16:18...you have to bowl 25 runs in 10 balls.
16:20If you have to bowl 45 runs in 20 balls...
16:22...you are an impactful player.
16:24You can't bowl 30 balls...
16:26...or 45 runs...
16:28...or 40 runs.
16:30You are not an impactful player.
16:32Especially in middle order.
16:34You need a player...
16:36...who can hit two sixes...
16:38...or three sixes in one over.
16:40If you identify that...
16:42...you will be impactful.
16:44Iftikhar is a player who can hit...
16:46...but you need to give him confidence.
16:48Speaking like a true coach.
16:50Basit, thank you so much for your time.
16:52Basit Ali was with us.
16:54He was trying to identify...
16:56...the flaws and mistakes.
16:58That's all for now.
17:00Give your host, Najeeb-ul-Hasnain, his leave.
17:02Take care.
17:04Allah Hafiz.
