Losing to Sri Lanka, ‘eye-opener’: Misbah ul Haq

London: After a dismal performance against Sri Lanka in the second T20I, head coach Misbah ul Haq termed the losing streak of Pakistan team an ‘eye-opener’.
Pakistan is currently the number one T20 side in cricket. However, they have lost five games in the last nine months.
“Losing is never good, especially against a team that is without their major players, and it’s an eye-opener,” Espn Cricinfo quoted Misbah as saying. In the second match of the three-match T20I series, Sri Lanka posted a total of 182/6 in the allotted twenty overs after opting to bat first.
Bhanuka Rajapaksa scored 77 off just 48 balls for the Islanders. Chasing 183, Pakistan could only score 147 and suffered a 35-run defeat.
“We can see deficiency in every department: bowling, batting and particularly the way we got out against spin, and also our death bowling,” said Misbah.
“There was a clear difference between the two teams. Despite being inexperienced, they were disciplined and did everything right, while we completely failed to implement our plan,” he added.
