PAK vs NZ, 3rd T20I: Babar, Mahmood laud Shadab’s cameo but admit Pakistan was below-par in Rawalpindi defeat

Pakistan captain Babar Azam and head coach Azhar Mahmood defended the team’s tactics following a seven-wicket defeat against New Zealand in the 3rd T20I on Sunday while admitting that the home team was below par in Rawalpindi. Batting first, Pakistan scored 178 for four in 20 overs, with the new-look Kiwi team chasing the total inside 19 overs. Both, however, lauded Shadab Khan’s late cameo in the end for propelling the hosts past 170.
