Pakistan’s cricket team is looking to bounce back after a disappointing loss against New Zealand in their T20I series. The team lost both matches, 2-0. Head coach Aqib Javed addressed the media in Auckland, expressing hope for a better performance in the third match. Javed emphasized that winning takes time and urged fans to remain patient. He noted that the team has the talent to succeed, but some adjustments will be made for the upcoming game. He acknowledged the disappointment from the recent losses but insisted that these early setbacks do not define their chances of winning. He also highlighted the difficulties of playing in New Zealand, mentioning that some players lack experience in these conditions.
