Walking back down to the memory lane, the former all-rounder claimed that because of the pressure and the atmosphere in the stadium, created by the crowd, they lost the match against India.
As the target was not too big, the Pakistan cricket team was confident of chasing it down. They started the run chase well with their opening pair, Mohammad Hafeez and Kamran Akmal. Misbah-ul-Haq slammed a half-century as well from the middle-order to make their case strong. But the Men in Green, unable to hold back the momentum, lost the match, which was a semifinal.
Afridi explained why Pakistan lost the match
Afridi claimed that the wicket of Mohammad Hafeez proved to be the turning point of the match. Hafeez was dismissed for 43 balls off 59 deliveries, smashing seven 4s. Munaf Patel got the important breakthrough for India.
Shahid Afridi credited the Mohali crowd for the match result
Afridi claimed that as soon as Pakistan dropped the first wicket, the Mohali crowd created such an ambience that the opposing team batters might have been afraid to walk out into the middle. Afridi was the captain, who was dismissed after scoring 19 runs in 17 balls only.
He concluded the discussion by saying that, only because of the crowd pressure, they lost the match.
