Pakistan made a remarkable comeback after losing first two games against India and Zimbabwe they won there last 4 games and made into the final of ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2022.
Pakistan mentor Matthew Hayden opined the team’s journey,
“It’s a very emotional campaign. A beautiful metaphor for this team that, at its heart, has got raw talent mixed with the passion of a nation that loves the game. The highs have been excellent in this tournament for Pakistan,” said Hayden while speaking to the media after the team’s practice session in Melbourne.
“I think there have been some key performances, for me, the other day was off the field when Babar was throwing in warm-up balls to Rizwan; that’s very reflective of a culture that’s working, hoping, and building that commonality. I think that’s a beautiful moment,” added Hayden.
“When it comes to these huge tournaments, we know what it means. It means the opportunity to lift the World Cup; it means the opportunity to set nations alight and alive again, reinvigorate a nation through its national team’s performance,” he concluded.
