England defeated Pakistan by an innings and 47 runs in the Multan Test match.
Currently a three-match Test series is being played between Pakistan and England. So the first match of this series ended with a crushing defeat of the host team by an innings and 47 runs. Although Pakistan had scored more than 500 runs in the first innings, they still had to face defeat in the match.
This was the first match in Test cricket history, when a team scored 500 runs in the first innings, and had to face defeat. On the other hand, now after this defeat, a big statement of team captain Shan Masood has come out.
Shan Masood gave a big statement
Let us tell you that after losing the Multan Test match against England, Shan Masood said during the post match – When you score 556 runs on the board, it is very important to support it with 10 wickets and keep the game close. This is something we did not do.
If we take those 10 wickets and keep England around their score, the 220 we scored on the fifth day becomes challenging for them. That is the key to success, we have to work on things as a team.
Masood further said- I would like the team to improve, it does not matter what the pitch is, we have to find a way to win. England showed us the way in this Test, you have to give them huge credit.
We are sad with the result, sad as a country, but the beauty of the game is that it always gives you another chance. We are all working hard, we are going to give our all and try to change this.
Well, now it will be worth watching that when Masood and Company will play the second match against England at Multan Cricket Stadium from 15th October, how will it perform?
