Misbah-ul-Haq will leave Zimbabwe after sweeping gathers armies of Pakistan in all formats. Three weeks ago, said the most important aspect of the visit to Pakistan, besides winning, is to blood young players, re-enter and integrate other as a team. After six wins, one of the tests, three and two Twenty20 ODI, Misbah think they have achieved all their objectives.
"We had really good teamwork, especially today, in the vicinity of the game," he said, when Pakistan T20 five-run second. "Everything worked well, especially bowling and fielding."
Throughout the series, Pakistan, has debuted with three players, fast bowler Junaid Khan, Yasir Shah and legspinner batsman Rameez Raja and Raja just did not get the opportunity enough to impress. Younis Khan, Sohail Tanvir and Imran Farhat to enjoy a successful comebacks, and only Shoaib Malik fought races. But it was one of the old guard, Mohammad Hafeez, who earned the highest praise for his captain.
"Mohammad Hafeez has been great all the way. He has contributed to the bat, contributed with the ball and I think we can say it was the main factor for us today." Hafeez was that Pakistan centurion in the spot test, long the leading scorer in limited-overs series and more wicket-taker in the T20, with seven scalps at an average of 3.00.
Hafeez half a century and three wickets in the second sealed victory in Pakistan T20, when it seemed to have finished 30 short runs. "We were looking for something around 150-170, we were 20-30 runs," said Misbah. Hafeez coil Triple Strike in Zimbabwe, which was necessary to make any necessary rate and 20 runs more than the previous one.
Sohail has been entrusted to defend the total and stayed to save the last ball six races. His shot entirely apart from the strain of Zimbabwe still below the target. "The plan was bowling, a New Yorker out of the trunk out and really upset here," said Misbah. "This ball was excellent, really was in place."
Although dominated Pakistan in Zimbabwe through the series, Misbah said he noticed an improvement in the hosts and have felt the pressure in Sunday's game on your computer. "They [in Zimbabwe] has not panic, just played cool, which was the main danger to us and that is why it was so close."
Brendan Taylor, captain of Zimbabwe, took the heart of the way his team performed despite the defeat. "We have demonstrated a better character, can not compare at all compared to the last game," he said. "All the honors Tatenda [Taibu], seemed to experience. Unfortunately, no one can really stick with him and us over the line, but there was much more positive today."
Taibu unbeaten 37 was the coup made the most of any of the Zimbabwe batsmen and was about to win the game. "We could have a little more simple, single T20 are very important and we tend to forget that sometimes," said Taylor. "If the guys rushed over and pushed most gardeners and more than twenty overs you can do five races. It's frustrating, but in the end was a good game of cricket."
Taylor said that the two cases, the first and the second ODI T20, when Zimbabwe was close to winning, and gave them hope that things will get better. "It 'a huge boost for us to know that playing good cricket, but we must be more consistent."
Zimbabwe has just over three weeks off before hosting New Zealand and then travel there too. "We have two and a half weeks of solid work in our physical and concrete. We are here to stay and work even harder than we did for this series. We are willing to learn and are willing to get better quickly so that we can show the world we can be competitive. "
