England won the T20 World Cup 2022 title, showing a brilliant game. Jos Buttler-led English team defeated Pakistan by five wickets in the final played at MCG on Sunday (November 13). In this match, England had got a target of 138 runs to win, which they achieved with six balls remaining.
After the final defeat, former fast bowler Mohammad Amir has taken a dig at the Pakistani team. Mohammad Amir agreed that Pakistan did not deserve to qualify for the final of the T20 World Cup.
Amir said that, except for the matches held in Sydney, the performance of Pakistan’s batters was very disappointing. Amir believed he was not surprised to see his batters struggling on a bowling-friendly pitch.
The World Knows How We Reached The Final: Amir
Amir told a news channel, ‘The fact that we played in the final is a big deal. We didn’t deserve to play in the final. The whole world knows how we reached the final. Allah helped us to go there. If you look at the performance of our batters, you will know the result. Once we got out of Sydney, we knew it would be like this.
He said, ‘I told you earlier that if the pitch at MCG is the same as it was in the first match, then Pakistan will struggle, and we did. After winning the toss, we started well and knew the conditions.
Amir also lashed out at Mohammad Haris, who gave away wickets in a bid to play a big shot off leg-spinner Adil Rashid. Haris contributed eight runs in 12 balls with the help of a four.
It Is Also Important To Have an Understanding: Amir
Amir said, ‘We talked about Haris and his intention. But along with intention, there should also be understanding. When he faced Adil Rashid on the first ball, he tried to play an aggressive shot. On these pitches, you cannot leave it to anyone else. The new batsman will struggle.
Ben Stokes showed that experience and game awareness. Significantly, after coming out to bat first, Pakistan could score only 137 runs for eight wickets. In the last four overs, she could score only 18 runs.
Mohammad Amir Took Retirement in 2020
Mohammad Amir represented his country in 36 Tests, 61 ODIs and 50 T20 Internationals. Amir started his international career in 2009 and came into the limelight after taking six wickets on his Test debut. In 2010, Amir became the youngest bowler to take 50 Test wickets. In the year 2020, this fast bowler took retirement.
