Pakistan all-rounder Imad Wasim said he will regret his scratchy knock against arch-rivals India in the T20 World Cup 2024 in New York. While chasing 120 runs, Pakistan was in a shoo-in position as they were 57-1 after 10 overs.
However, the Babar Azam-led team kept losing wickets at regular intervals and also played many dot balls, which created pressure on the. Imad Wasim scored 15 runs off 23 balls and could not take his team over the line. The southpaw was dismissed by a bumper from Arshdeep Singh.
Imad Wasim said in a media interaction, “I let down because usually when I go in this situation, I am very calm and finish the job. And this was my job to finish which I couldn’t do. I will regret this and I still regret it. But this is life.”
“Sometimes you make mistakes. But life is like that, sometimes you make mistakes. So, you can say that this was a phase in my life that I unfortunately could not achieve. I will regret it, but my execution was not good.”
Meanwhile, Axar Patel conceded only two runs in the 17th over and bowled three consecutive dot balls against Imad Wasim when the southpaw could not make a connection while trying to play a cut short. The left-hander feels that over was the turning point of the game.
“Usually, under pressure, bowlers give you a ball and there is a margin. But I think I was taking the game deep and I was hoping that a new batsman would come and for that it is virtually impossible. But Naseem hit two good shots. That 17th over, I think, I feel that the move of the runs in that over was a turning point.
“It’s unfortunate that it happens, it’s an incident but it was a big game. Our team and I are more disappointed than you are.”
Meanwhile, Pakistan registered a three-wicket win against Ireland on Sunday but they were eliminated after losing against the USA and India.
