"We needed this win"- Pakistan captain Babar Azam after beating Canada to remain alive in 2024 T20 World Cup
At the post-match presentation, Pakistan skipper Babar Azam stated that it was a much-needed win for his team and applauded his teammates for a collective effort. Reflecting on the win, Babar said:
"Good for us, we needed this win. Credit to the team, we started off well with our bowling. We had it in the back of the mind to chase the total before 13-14 overs. In this wicket, first six overs are very crucial. Ball doesn't come at one pace, sometimes it's low, after 6 overs the wicket settles a bit, after that we could attack the spinners. (On his reaction to being dismissed) Because I got out to the same shot again. That was my shot, sometimes it comes good, sometimes it doesn't."
On the road ahead for his team, Azam continued:
"We are going with the same mindset, for the next match against Ireland. The conditions there are much better, I played the CPL there at Florida. We'll try our best to win that match."
Pakistan and Ireland will square off on Sunday (June 16) at the Central Broward Regional Park Stadium Turf Ground in Lauderhill, Florida.
