Pakistan's team had to face defeat at the hands of Sri Lanka in the final of the Asia Cup 2022. In such a situation, former Pakistan fast bowler Wasim Akram lashed out at Babar Azam, the current captain of the Pakistan team. Wasim Akram says that Pakistan's team lost the final of the Asia Cup because they made a mistake in captaincy. Apart from this, he also raised questions about the approach of the team.

Wasim Akram said, "Babar has to learn very quickly that when the front team has lost 5 wickets, then bring back your main bowlers. Don't worry about the last 2 overs."Babar Azam made the same mistake in the final, which cost the team as Bhanuka Rajapaksa and Wanindu Hasaranga scored runs in the middle overs to put the team in a good position. Sri Lanka scored more than 100 runs in the last 10 overs.

However, Wasim Akram has also advised the team that the middle order should be fixed before the T20 World Cup. Regarding this, he told the media, "Pakistan has to play 7 T20 matches against England and they need to change the middle order and maybe bring in someone like Shan Masood and Shoaib Malik."Apart from this, he also questioned the approach of the openers of the Pakistan team.

Wasim said, "One opener should be aggressive, while the other opener should play the anchor role, but this is not happening with Pakistan. You can't expect to win matches like this when you have the board in the first 6 overs." But there are only 30 to 40 runs."Chasing a target of 171 runs, Pakistan was bundled out for 147 runs and lost the match by 23 runs.
