Babar said during the post-match presentation: “You need confidence after losing the first game. The credit goes to the players as they took responsibility and showed good efforts with the ball and the bat. When you get early wickets, there is pressure on the opposition. Almost every bowler of ours executed their plans. There is pressure but you should trust your game. I try to take most of the pressure and back my boys.”
Australia and Pakistan will play the last match (Only T20I) of the tour on April 5.
