00:00Assalam-o-Alaikum, hello and welcome to our special transmission for ICC Champions Trophy 2025 Pakistan.
00:09There is no good news from Rawalpindi. It is still raining, the condition is still very bad.
00:16It is being said that even if we try to drain the water and the situation is normal for playing,
00:25it will still take 90 minutes. So the chance of a T20 game is still there.
00:32Let's see what happens. This is a very important competition between South Africa and Australia,
00:38Group B, and it is raining right now.
00:42I have with me my panel, Kamran Akmal, Basit Ali and Shahid Ashmi.
00:47Assalam-o-Alaikum, welcome to the show.
00:48Walaikum Assalam.
00:50Mr. Shahid, the fate of South Africa is such that they seem to be a better team right now,
00:56although Australia has also won a great match, but their balance is good,
01:01they seem to be a strong team, so today the weather is not letting them win.
01:04Out of the last 12 matches, 9 matches were won by South Africa against Australia.
01:09And in the history of Champions Trophy, both the teams have never collided with each other.
01:13So this would have been the first match if it had happened.
01:167.30 is the cut-off time, but as it is raining in Pindi, it will rain for the next 2-3 days.
01:21And because of Khuskhasatmati, we will also get one point for Pakistan.
01:25So it is not even possible for us to win one match.
01:28We are getting one point, but if both the teams get one point from this match,
01:35then both the teams benefit, England and Afghanistan suffer a loss.
01:39If either of the two teams had won, then Afghanistan and England could have gone to the semi-final on one win.
01:44If both the teams get 3-3 points, then because of 3-3 points,
01:47both the teams will have to win both the matches.
01:50And no one can understand this situation better than Kamran Akmal,
01:53because it happened in the 2007 World Cup as well.
01:55Was this the same situation in the 2007 World Cup?
01:57Yes, it was the same. Don't die with a good run rate.
02:01The match between Ireland and Zimbabwe was a tie.
02:03Yes, it was very beneficial for us.
02:06I think England lost to Netherlands.
02:10So that was our chance.
02:13This was the 2003 World Cup.
02:16I am talking about the 2007 World Cup,
02:18in which the match between Ireland and Zimbabwe was a tie.
02:21Both teams got one point each.
02:23You were in Ireland's match, right?
02:25I am not as old as you are.
02:28You played in Ireland's match.
02:30I think you were the top scorer in Ireland's match.
02:34You are absolutely right.
02:36We were in shock because of Bob.
02:39We didn't know he was so good.
02:41Cricket can be anything.
02:43We were talking about the pool of death.
02:48We can see that.
02:50You are saying that if Pakistan wins one match,
02:55it will be a victory for them.
02:56But if it rains there, they won't be able to win.
02:58They will get one point.
02:59Even if they get one point with this team,
03:02I think they should be thankful.
03:04They should be thankful for what they are getting.
03:06They should be happy.
03:08They should be satisfied.
03:10If Rajchin had run out,
03:13Bangladesh would have been in a good position.
03:15If Pakistan had played well,
03:17New Zealand wouldn't have scored 320.
03:19Pakistan wouldn't have been out on 260.
03:23I want to ask Shahid,
03:25is one point beneficial or not?
03:28Both are beneficial.
03:30England's match is against South Africa.
03:32England's match is against Afghanistan.
03:35If they win both the matches,
03:37it will be a victory for them.
03:39If one of these two teams had got three points,
03:43England and Afghanistan could have gone for a win.
03:46It is important to win three matches for one team.
03:49In the pool of four teams.
03:51Three matches.
03:52One match for one team.
03:54So that the other team can benefit.
03:56We have become Abdullah.
03:59We are Abdullah in Begani Shadi.
04:01I am saying that our team will benefit.
04:04Now people are saying that
04:06neither Pakistan's team is in the final
04:08nor the final is in Pakistan.
04:10This is a very painful thing to say.
04:13To be honest, this is a painful thing.
04:17This is a painful thing.
04:19It should be that Pakistan is the host of the Champions Trophy.
04:22In fact, Pakistan should request from now on
04:24that India should at least come for the final.
04:26So that our co-host,
04:28our name should be that we are the co-host.
04:32You are ready to make Pakistan lose.
04:37Now you are ready to make Pakistan come for the final.
04:39Pakistan should say that our team did not reach.
04:42India reached.
04:43So the final is in Dubai.
04:45Look, the matches won by us,
04:47how much people appreciated it in Pakistan.
04:49We celebrated it a lot.
04:51You should also see this love among Pakistanis.
04:54That is obvious.
04:55And they will come here and win in Lahore.
04:57They should be twice as happy
04:59that they came to Pakistan and won the final in Pakistan.
05:02It is good that Pakistan-India match did not happen in Lahore.
05:08Otherwise, half of the stadium would have been broken.
05:11I think it is also good that the Bilateral Series is not happening with them.
05:15The 25 matches that are coming up,
05:17Edward,
05:18I think five years ago,
05:20they would have been on us so much.
05:22Like we are playing cricket.
05:25Because they are playing much better cricket than us.
05:27Both are far better.
05:28They are a better team.
05:29They are a star, a superstar.
05:31So it was the best opportunity.
05:33But anyway,
05:34it is not in their fate.
05:35What do you say, Mr. Basit?
05:36We are talking about cricket.
05:38It is a show of cricket.
05:41It is not from you.
05:43That country has reached the moon.
05:46And first it failed,
05:48then it reached the moon.
05:49Yes.
05:50Now we are not even imagining it.
05:51So how did it reach?
05:53That's why it reached.
05:54Let's move on to the discussion.
05:55We were talking about the match between Australia and South Africa.
06:00If we show some scenes,
06:02what is the position at the moment.
06:04The match has been planned.
06:06This is the position.
06:07Mr. Shahid, you were absolutely right.
06:09Because it is raining so much.
06:10It had come a little while ago.
06:12That maybe in 1-1.5 hours,
06:15a T20 game will be possible.
06:17But now,
06:18it has been abandoned.
06:19It has rained so much.
06:20There is so much water.
06:21It will take so much time to dry the ground and the outfield.
06:24Although the cut-off time was 7.30.
06:26But they saw that it won't be possible in the next 1-1.5 hours.
06:29That's why they abandoned the match.
06:31The match has been abandoned.
06:33So your thoughts, Kamran,
06:35about these two teams.
06:37The match was not possible because of the rain.
06:40How do you see this?
06:42And what do you think,
06:43what will happen with this in the group B scenario?
06:45Look,
06:46in this group,
06:47it has become a very tight group.
06:50Now every team has a must-win game.
06:52There are no chances.
06:54Australia,
06:55if they win the next match,
06:57they will qualify.
06:58This is the scenario for South Africa.
07:00England,
07:01and
07:02for Afghanistan,
07:03as you know,
07:04not a single team will win.
07:06So I think it has become a very interesting pool.
07:08And
07:09the competition can be seen in this pool.
07:12Because they are a big team.
07:14But it will be fun.
07:15There will be more interest to see this pool.
07:18To see the matches.
07:19Because in group A,
07:20two teams have already qualified.
07:22But now all the focus will be on this group of Champions.
07:25That's right.
07:26Two teams have qualified.
07:27A little drama has been created here, Basit.
07:30England has an advantage.
07:31England has an advantage.
07:32They have lost their first match.
07:34You watch the first match.
07:36I will think about the next one.
07:37Do you think it will go ahead?
07:39Both matches.
07:40They have to win from Africa in England.
07:42The problem is that
07:43if England and South Africa have to qualify,
07:45they have to go to four points.
07:46They can't go to two points.
07:48Because two teams have three points.
07:50So England has to win both its matches.
07:52Afghanistan has to win both its matches.
07:54If they don't win,
07:55then in the semi-final.
07:56First, if one team wins,
07:58South Africa or Australia,
08:00then England and Afghanistan can win each match and go.
08:03For Afghanistan,
08:05they don't have bowling in Australia.
08:08They can win.
08:09Like in the 2023 World Cup,
08:11there was a big competition.
08:12Maxwell won the match alone.
08:14200 runs.
08:15At that time, there was a whole bowling line-up,
08:16batting line-up.
08:17So they defeated England.
08:19There is one edge to Afghanistan.
08:21Let's see.
08:22But they got a similar pitch.
08:24A little tricky.
08:25What is the edge?
08:26The edge is that
08:27they got a spin track.
08:29If they get a spin track,
08:30they will win again.
08:31But those who have won in 2023,
08:33from England,
08:34in the World Cup,
08:35in Delhi,
08:36they have confidence.
08:37You are saying there is a psychological advantage.
08:38There will be a psychological advantage.
08:39But if the net run rate is negative 2.1...
08:43They will play while keeping it in front.
08:45They will play with plans.
08:47Whose minus?
08:48Afghanistan.
08:49Afghanistan.
08:50Minus 2.14.
08:51I am not rating this program so highly.
08:54Because they won't get a spin track like this.
08:57Okay.
08:58They won't have that much advantage.
09:00If they get a pitch where their spinners will come in handy,
09:03then it will be dangerous for both teams.
09:05Otherwise,
09:06as it was pitched against South Africa,
09:07then it will be very difficult.
09:08Then it will be very difficult.
09:09Their main spinner got unfit.
09:11I think his name is Ghazanfar.
09:12Yes, Ghazanfar.
09:13Rashid is the main one.
09:15But he...
09:16But Rashid,
09:17he didn't bring that T20 form in one day.
09:21That's what I said.
09:22If such a team gets a pitch where they get a slow break,
09:27then they can definitely dominate this team
09:31against England and Australia.
09:34As soon as their batting lineup is there.
09:35Because in Australia,
09:36even in Sri Lanka,
09:37if you see,
09:38the spinners of Sri Lanka have been out.
09:40There was a little grip of the spinners there.
09:42There is a problem for them.
09:43But the pitches here...
09:44I am saying one thing.
09:45That's what I said.
09:46If they get it,
09:47then maybe they will get the edge.
09:49Otherwise,
09:50there is no chance.
09:51Mr. Shahid,
09:52apart from Mr. Basit,
09:53all of us,
09:54and I was also seeing other people,
09:55they were rating Afghanistan very high.
09:57After just one game,
09:59people's perception is changing a little.
10:02Their performance in 2023,
10:04here,
10:05they are expecting that it will not be the same.
10:07Afghanistan needs two factors.
10:09First, they need spinning conditions.
10:11And second,
10:12whenever they win a toss,
10:13if they bat first
10:14and make 260-270 runs,
10:16then their spinners are very good.
10:18I am surprised that
10:19just like we have a selection process,
10:22Afghanistan also has a selection process.
10:24If a player starts to look bad,
10:25Mujibur Rahman had an injury.
10:27Mujibur Rahman is better than A.M. Ghazanfar.
10:30A.M. Ghazanfar has just come.
10:31He is still young.
10:32He just showed a little good performance.
10:34So they started giving him an advantage over Mujibur Rahman.
10:37Mujibur Rahman was fit.
10:38He was told that he will only play T20.
10:40He will not play one-day cricket.
10:42Although his one-day record is also good.
10:44So you have completely sidelined a player.
10:46You said that he has been medically told
10:48that he will only play T20 cricket.
10:50So if you select Mujibur Rahman in ODI cricket,
10:53then Mujibur Rahman is a better bowler
10:55than Nange Alia Kharote,
10:56who is a left-arm spinner.
10:58I think what you said,
11:00Shahid Bhai,
11:01there is no involvement of their head coach
11:03in the selection of Afghanistan.
11:05Jonathan Trotki is there,
11:06but obviously,
11:07he is very strong.
11:09He is very strong.
11:12He is very clever.
11:13I think he has made a team.
11:14Mujibur Rahman might have felt bad about it.
11:16He was also playing in Big Bash.
11:18So he cancelled his NOC
11:20and called him back to Afghanistan
11:22to play domestic cricket
11:23and play our series.
11:25So it goes on.
11:26Obviously,
11:27his temperament is similar to ours.
11:29He is our neighbor.
11:30That's right.
11:31Before going to the break,
11:33Mr. Basit,
11:34one thing I never understand
11:35is that they have so many problems.
11:37There has been so much struggle in Afghanistan
11:39because of the condition of their country.
11:41And they keep on producing good talent.
11:44When we talk about their domestic,
11:46they have a lot of problems.
11:48How are they producing
11:49so many spinners back-to-back?
11:51Emotions.
11:52The emotions of the country.
11:54They have seen so many difficult situations.
11:56They have not lost anything.
11:58It was their emotions.
12:00You can see a glimpse of that emotion in cricket.
12:03Unfortunately,
12:04we don't see that emotion.
12:06This is the reality.
12:07When there is passion,
12:09you can see the hard work.
12:11You can see their players,
12:13but what do you see our players doing?
12:15Tuk-tuk.
12:16Tuk-tuk.
12:17Simple answers.
12:19And why spinners?
12:21How are they producing back-to-back?
12:24Your condition matters a lot in this.
12:27I went there to play.
12:29There is no grass at all.
12:31There is a field there.
12:32There is a little hard pitch.
12:34The spinners get more opportunities there.
12:36Red Bull Cricket plays so much
12:38that they put spinners at one end.
12:40That's why they have the quality of spinners.
12:43And spinners are coming.
12:45That's why fast bowlers are not coming to them.
12:47The fast bowlers who have come,
12:49they have also played from here.
12:51Fazal Akhfaroo.
12:53Their structure is domestic.
12:56They are totally on the batting paradise pitch.
12:59200-250 runs.
13:00They are making batsmen.
13:02So spinners are running to break it.
13:04That's why they are producing.
13:06And their grassroot level,
13:08their system and process is great.
13:10Let's take a commercial break.
13:19Glad to have you back once again
13:21to our special transmission.
13:23Let me remind you once again
13:25that the match between Australia and South Africa
13:28was supposed to be in Rawalpindi.
13:30It rained all day.
13:32Match was not possible.
13:34Both teams got points distributed.
13:36Let's take a look at the points table.
13:38With this, we will get to know
13:40the situation of both groups.
13:42Group A is coming in front of you.
13:44You already know that
13:46New Zealand and India
13:48have qualified from here.
13:50Bangladesh and Pakistan
13:52are out of this event.
13:54So this is the situation.
13:56Both teams have 4 points.
13:58Now let's come to Group B
14:00which was supposed to be
14:02a group of death.
14:04And it is proving to be so.
14:06South Africa is at the top.
14:08They have played 2 matches.
14:10One has won and one is today's match.
14:12No decision has been made.
14:14They are at the top with 3 points.
14:16With a very healthy net run rate of 2.140.
14:18Australia is at the 2nd number.
14:20This is the same situation.
14:22But the net rate is a little less than South Africa.
14:24England is at the 3rd number.
14:26They have not won the match yet.
14:28Afghanistan is at the bottom.
14:30And the problem is that
14:32their net run rate is
14:34minus 2.14.
14:36So this is the situation.
14:38Talking about this
14:40Champions Trophy,
14:42what has been the performance
14:44in the Champions Trophy so far?
14:46Let's take a look at the top 5 batters
14:48and top 5 bowlers.
14:50In the top 5 batters,
14:52at the top is Tom Latham.
14:54Who would have thought
14:56that when he came to Pakistan,
14:58his form was very bad.
15:00Two matches, 173 runs.
15:02Average is also 173.
15:04Strike rate of 96.1.
15:06Ben Ducat is at the 2nd number.
15:08In one match,
15:10he played a smoky 165 inning.
15:12Although he could not win his team.
15:14Shubman Gill is at the 3rd number.
15:16One day's top batter.
15:18In two matches,
15:20his run is 147.
15:22Strike rate of 81.2.
15:24Virat Kohli,
15:26122.
15:28The century against Pakistan
15:30was very good.
15:32Josh English,
15:34because of whom Australia
15:36was successful in winning the match.
15:38So these are the top 5 batters.
15:40Now let's take a look at the top 5 bowlers.
15:42At the top is Michael Breswell.
15:44What a great performance
15:46in yesterday's game.
15:48Five wickets in two matches.
15:50Five wickets in two matches of William O'Rourke.
15:52Four wickets in two matches of Harshit Rana.
15:54Three wickets in one match of Rabada.
15:56So these are the top five batters
15:58and bowlers.
16:00And no surprise,
16:02that neither the batter
16:04nor the bowler is Pakistani.
16:06So how is this?
16:08It's a good joke.
16:10If there is no performance,
16:12where will it come from?
16:14The century was not made in two matches.
16:16Everyone has made centuries.
16:18Except Afghanistan.
16:20This is the state of our batting.
16:22Even after that,
16:24we give big names.
16:26And on bowling,
16:28our coaches are saying
16:30this is the best in the world.
16:32Where do they see this fast bowling best?
16:34He was right,
16:36but in front of Nepal.
16:38Yes, it's true.
16:40If against Zimbabwe,
16:42Nepal, Ireland,
16:44we can say our bowling is the best?
16:46You tell people the facts.
16:48We have supported Pakistan a lot.
16:50We have made it to the final 15.
16:52If you look at the papers,
16:54this team was supposed to play
16:56in the ICC event.
16:58You should understand
17:00that we can't do well.
17:02This combination is not good.
17:04We should change.
17:06Why not change?
17:08You can ask the chairman
17:10who has made the team.
17:12They should take responsibility.
17:14Look at their mindset.
17:16They don't know
17:18where they want to go.
17:20In Pakistan's history,
17:22after winning 2 matches,
17:24I have never seen
17:26a cricket team like this.
17:28In my opinion,
17:30these 2 matches are not enough.
17:32We have won the series.
17:34We are following the same pattern.
17:36Everything will work.
17:38They will do the right thing.
17:40They come from abroad,
17:42but they are fooling themselves.
17:44This is an important question.
17:46When the turning track
17:48and spinner came,
17:50did you think
17:52that they will fix everything?
17:54Obviously,
17:56there is no chief selector,
17:58but they are there.
18:00You also gave them
18:02the position of head coach.
18:04Aqib,
18:06a day before the match,
18:08you were talking about Dilair Cricket.
18:10I have never seen
18:12Dilair Cricket.
18:14Where is the accountability?
18:16There should be accountability
18:18and surgery.
18:20You have to overhaul your cricket.
18:22You won 2 tests from England.
18:24You were lucky.
18:26You played on the recycling pitch.
18:28You won the toss in the 2nd test.
18:30You lost the toss in the 3rd test,
18:32but you scored more than England.
18:34You won against West Indies
18:36with the same strategy.
18:38In the 2nd test,
18:40you lost the toss.
18:42After giving a little lead to West Indies,
18:44you were out in the next innings.
18:46You lost the series.
18:48You came 9th and last
18:50in the World Test Championship.
18:52These disasters are not new.
18:54In the World T20
18:56of 2022,
18:58you reached the final
19:00when the Netherlands defeated
19:02South Africa.
19:04Then you failed in 2023.
19:06You failed in the Asia Cup.
19:08You failed in the T20 World Cup.
19:10There is a series of failures.
19:12You haven't addressed it yet.
19:14It won't be right to address it next year.
19:16It will take at least 2-3 years
19:18to use your cricket
19:20in the right direction.
19:22Basit,
19:24what is your take on this?
19:26It's time to make 3 different teams
19:28for all 3 formats.
19:30We don't have 1 right team.
19:32We don't have talent.
19:34We can make 3 different teams.
19:36Pakistan is afraid of losing.
19:38You make it.
19:40Let them lose.
19:42New players will come.
19:44Old players will leave.
19:46It's the same in T20
19:48and in One Day.
19:50Make a pool of 20-25 players.
19:52You have to prepare
19:54for the T20 World Cup.
19:56For the Asia Cup,
19:58make a team of 20-25 players.
20:00Send the youngsters to New Zealand.
20:02They will lose, but at least learn.
20:04You should have done it last year.
20:06You should have done it last year.
20:08You have already planned
20:10that they will lose.
20:12Let Pakistan's match
20:14get washed out.
20:16A press release will come
20:18that Rizwan and
20:20Aqib Javed have apologized
20:22and the chairman
20:24has made a commission
20:26for the investigation.
20:28Nothing will happen after that.
20:30Let me tell you something.
20:32You can make a team of 20-25 players.
20:34Can't you make a team of 25-30 players?
20:36You can make a team of 19 players.
20:38Why are you saying
20:40that you can make a team of 25 players?
20:42You can make a team of 25 players.
20:44You can make a team of 15 players.
20:46You can go to Giant Domestique
20:48and see
20:50where you can get players.
20:52You can give 25 players to
20:54a 10-year-old kid.
20:56He will give you the names.
20:58You have to see their performance,
21:00their game awareness,
21:02their condition.
21:04Then you can make a team of 15 players.
21:06You can't make a team of 11-15 players
21:08sitting in a room.
21:10How can you make a team of 15 players?
21:12When no one goes to check,
21:14it happens like this.
21:16No one knows
21:18when and where Pakistan's team
21:20comes and goes.
21:22Basit, after seeing this package,
21:24I feel sad.
21:26How do you expect
21:28to make a team of 15 players?
21:30There is no consistency in one thing.
21:32You are taking the boys and suddenly
21:34you drop them.
21:36There is an event and they are not coming.
21:38Then you take a spinner.
21:40The world is asking you
21:42how you don't know about your condition.
21:44Rajeev, the biggest problem is
21:46what you didn't say.
21:48How did you make Babar Azam
21:50an opener?
21:52He is performing well
21:54even in front of small teams.
21:56Look at his average.
21:58You made him a sacrifice.
22:00If Babar Azam
22:02gives a statement,
22:04you listen to it.
22:06You spoil the momentum.
22:08I am not spoiling the momentum.
22:10If Babar Azam gives a statement
22:12that he has opened for Pakistan,
22:14who will you blame?
22:16Why did you take this responsibility?
22:18You can say that you won't open.
22:20You are a big player and you have a name.
22:22How can this happen?
22:24This is Mughalpura's team and this is Pakistan's team.
22:26Mughalpura's team was formed 6 years ago.
22:28What did Fakhar Zaman say?
22:30He said that he will play for Pakistan.
22:32He said that he will play for Pakistan.
22:34Fakhar didn't have the control
22:36that Babar had.
22:38He will say that
22:40he scored 64 in one match and 20 in another.
22:42He played very well.
22:44He was justified
22:46in the opening position.
22:48But the pressure you put on the middle order
22:50is a different thing.
22:52Babar should have said that he is
22:54stable in the third position.
22:56Why are you spoiling the team?
22:58Who was the professor who did this?
23:00He could have done it 100%.
23:02He is a senior player
23:04and a captain.
23:06He could have said that he is
23:08good in his position.
23:10He can play for his team
23:12and he is suitable for his position.
23:14Even if he gets out on the first ball
23:16and I am in the second ball,
23:18I will play on my position.
23:20This is a sacrifice.
23:22You got an excuse
23:24rather than a sacrifice.
23:26When Shaheen was the captain
23:28in January 2024,
23:30Rizwan told Hafeez
23:32that he won't play
23:34in T20.
23:36He removed Babar.
23:38Rizwan said no.
23:40We talked about this.
23:42I told Hafeez
23:44that he should play
23:46on his position.
23:48I told him to rest
23:50and rotate the matches.
23:52I told him to play
23:54two matches for Rizwan
23:56and two matches for Babar.
23:58I told him to give a chance
24:00to Saim and Fakhar.
24:02This way, the workload will be managed.
24:04What was Hafeez's position at that time?
24:06He was the director of New Zealand T20.
24:08Did Hafeez listen to anyone
24:10when he was the director?
24:12No.
24:14He is a great professor.
24:16Everything he says is right.
24:18He raises his finger
24:20at others.
24:22As a selector...
24:24Who took Ben Holyoak?
24:26Who made the batting coach?
24:28Does Hafeez answer anyone?
24:30He will answer when he comes.
24:32He should answer.
24:34I am talking about myself.
24:36Let me clarify.
24:38As a selector,
24:40when he spoke,
24:42I gave my opinion.
24:44The rest was his work.
24:46Shaheen's work.
24:48I told him to rest.
24:50But don't go up or down.
24:52Let's take a break.
24:54Don't go anywhere.
24:56We will be back soon.
25:06Glad to have you back
25:08to our special transmission.
25:10Today's match was not possible.
25:12There is a lot going on.
25:14Let me start with you.
25:16Former English cricketers
25:18are criticizing India
25:20for playing at the same venue.
25:22They say they don't have to travel.
25:24The hotel is the same.
25:26They know the conditions.
25:28They have made a team.
25:30Pat Cummins said
25:32it is good for India.
25:34They know to play all matches
25:36at the same venue.
25:38He is not saying it is wrong.
25:40Michael Atherton
25:42and Michael Vaughan
25:44are the old English cricketers.
25:46They openly criticize India.
25:48What happened in the
25:50World Cup in 2023?
25:52They chose the semifinal
25:54in Bombay.
25:56They knew about it.
25:58They knew about
26:00the semifinal
26:02in Guyana.
26:04An Indian journalist
26:06from Crick Info
26:08said that India
26:10gets a favor in the ICC events.
26:12It is open.
26:14They can do whatever they want.
26:16Although,
26:18India is so strong
26:20that they don't need
26:22this favor.
26:24We said the same thing.
26:26We lost the final in 2023.
26:28We were unbeaten.
26:30We won the T20 World Cup.
26:32We are still winning matches.
26:34There is no need for this.
26:36Is it easy to bat
26:38in Dubai
26:40or is it easier to bat later?
26:42It depends.
26:44It depends on the team.
26:46It is not easy to bat in Dubai.
26:48Pakistan batted in Dubai
26:50and Bangladesh too.
26:52They must have thought about it.
26:54It is better to bat earlier.
26:56Rohit Sharma is losing the toss.
26:58If you think that
27:00it is better to bat
27:02earlier or later,
27:04India has said
27:06that you should bat
27:08before the toss.
27:10I don't agree.
27:12What do you think?
27:14I am thinking differently.
27:16Other teams are treated differently.
27:18They are taken to different venues.
27:20If you want to play in Dubai,
27:22send them to Dubai
27:24or Sharjah.
27:26Then you will know.
27:28There will be a difference.
27:30They will have the same idea.
27:32Dubai has a big system.
27:34They have a big team.
27:36They have great players.
27:38There is no match in any team.
27:40If they play with courage,
27:42they will be respected.
27:44They should do it.
27:46That's all for today.
27:48Give your host Najeeb-ul-Hasnain
27:50your permission.
27:52Take care.
27:54Allah Hafiz.
