Babar Azam's slow batting also let Pakistan down in the semi final. Babar Azam scored only 39 runs off 35 balls and wasted too many deliveries with dot balls. If Babar Azam played with a better strike rate then Pakistan would have posted a higher total with extra twenty or so runs and Australia might have never reached that target. Pakistan also lost the semi final because of Hassan Ali's poor performance. Hassan Ali not only gave away too many runs with his bowling but was also responsible for the defeat by dropping Mathew Wade. As we say catches win matches and had that catch being taken by Hassan Ali who knows Pakistan would have been in the final of this Twenty20 World Cup. Hassan Ali just dropped the Twenty20 World Cup by not taking that catch of Mathew Wade.
Overall Pakistan's performance was superb in the tournament winning five consecutive matches before the semi final. That performance also included a win against India which was Pakistan's first win over India in world cup matches. Having said that ICC should have staged the knockout matches at Day time as in the night the dew factor comes in which robbed Pakistan a place in the Final of the tournament.
In the end I would like to congratulate and thank Pakistan cricket team for it's superb performance throughout the Twenty20 World Cup and I would say it was a successful World Cup for Pakistan. I am proud of this Pakistan cricket team and they have made the entire nation proud of their performance.
