"Doing well against Pakistan is very important for our confidence"- Zimbabwe captain Sikandar Raza after winning 3rd T20I
At the post-match presentation, Zimbabwe captain Sikandar Raza shed light on the importance of winning the dead rubber for his side after losing the series. He said:
"Certainly, we wanted to win the series but unfortunately we could not do that but the desire to do well against the Pak team was always there within the group. We did not want to dwell too much into what went right or wrong earlier because it becomes important to come out fresh, be very clear and concise with our plans which happened for us as we restricted them to a low score."
He continued:
"There are lessons that many of the young players will learn, a few bad games will not define their careers. We have Afghanistan next week. Doing well against Pakistan is very important for our confidence and the development of our squad. For the World Cup qualification, it is big."
Pakistan won both ODI and T20I series by a 2-1 margin on their Zimbabwe tour.
