Speaking after the match ,Babar Azam said that his side was around 20 runs short of the par score while batting first.

However, Babar Azam also said that if he had stayed on the pitch till the end of the innings things would have been different.
He bowled well so I tried to build the innings. But I got out early. If I lived there. So maybe it would have been a different ball game,” he added.
