We could not execute the bowling plans: Pakistan coach Saqlain Mushtaq

Saqlain has lambasted the bowlers [PC: Twitter]

England on Friday came back strongly in the 3rd T20I against Pakistan to take a 2-1 lead in the seven game T20I series. On a batting paradise, they slammed 221 and eventually won the match comfortably by 63 runs.

It was fair to say that Pakistan bowling attack lacked the cutting edge and the England batters took full advantage of it.

Now Saqlain Mushtaq, Pakistan's head coach has lambasted the bowling attack, citing that they failed to execute the bowling plans.

"We had flaws in our bowling. We could not execute the plans. If you don't execute the plans, the opposition gets an opportunity to control you. And when such a big total is put on the board, and when the wickets fall in clatter, the asking rate goes up and beyond your control."

Saqlain also praised Shan Masood for his stellar knock

"Shan played a fine innings. His intend and shot selection were fine. He showed courage and we are happy that he ticked so many boxes."

Pakistan are set to collide against a confident England side in the 4th T20I of the series on Sunday.
