#5 Sarfraz Ahmed takes blame for Asia Cup exit

The Pakistan cricket suffered a defeat at the hands of Bangladesh in the virtual semi-final encounter of the ongoing Asia Cup taking place in Dubai.

After the loss, Pakistan captain Sarfraz Ahmed took the blame of his side's exit from the tournament. While speaking at the post-match presentation, Sarfraz felt that his team's performance and his own performance was below par.

“We are obviously not feeling good. As a team, we have not done well. Our performance has been very poor. As a player, I have done really badly too. I should have done better. We were poor in every facet of the game,” he said.

“There were lot of batting collapses for us in the tournament. Fakhar is our main batsman, he failed to perform in this tournament and Shadab was hit by injury too. We have to play well to beat good teams. Our batting was the main reason for our defeat in this tournament. Shaheen Afridi is a talented youngster, we have given him opportunities to showcase his talent and he has done well too,” Sarfraz concluded.
