Sikandar Raza on Zimbabwe s thought process before second innings

Sikandar Raza accepted that after the start that Zimbabwe had, they probably should have gotten to a total in the 145-150 range. However, he also stressed how much faith he had in his team and how crucial it was for them to start well with the ball. That's exactly what happened as Pakistan lost three quick wickets, including those of stat batter Mohammad Rizwan and captain Babar Azam. This set up the game nicely for the defending team and they capitalized on it. Raza said about the same: "I personally felt that we were 15-20 runs short. But, I truly believe in this group of boys. We knew that if we field well and take all our chances, we could really win this game. " Raza delivered a Player of the Match performance as he picked up three big wickets and conceded just 25 runs from his four overs. Speaking after the match, he recalled a video he watched where former Australian captain hailed his match-winning ability. It was a huge moment for the all-rounder personally and he thanked Ponting for giving him this boost with his words. He said: "I was excited today, and I watched this clip by Ricky Ponting earlier in the morning, and that motivated me to come up with this performance. I would like to thank Ricky Ponting for that. For me, I had goosebumps, one of the greats of this game talking about Zimbabwe and in particular me." “Whatever happens , happens with the will of Allah and Allah only”
