It was a bad day at the office for the Pakistan national side as they suffered a brutal 63-run hammering against England in the third T20 International of the seven-match series. 

Pakistan skipper Babar Azam looked upset with the loss. The batter blamed the bowlers for being off with the lines and lengths. He also added that how 222 runs were never a feasible score in the shortest format of the game. All being said, the skipper is hoping to make a comeback to the winning ways on Sunday.

Speaking in the post-match presentation, Babar said:

"Definitely. The way they made 222 was pressure for us. We needed a partnership, but losing wickets meant we were behind the game. I think we use our bowlers according to the situation and today we were a bit off with our lines and lengths,

"Things didn't go our way and it was too much to do for our middle-order batters. I think Shan Masood getting runs is a big positive for us. I hope, we will learn from our mistakes and come back stronger in the next game on Sunday."

Pakistan will face England in the fourth T20 International of the seven-match series on Sunday, September 25 at the National Stadium in Karachi.
