Pakistan’s performance was also appreciated by Imran Khan as he praised the team for their sensational effort. Imran stated that the players gave their all in the match and that the effort itself was worthy enough to show the world that the team is heading in the right direction.
Imran further stated that he watched cricket after a long time but saw signs of a fantastic team in the making.
