In the video, Babar Azam is seen saying, ‘Faith has come. We have a light. We have met expectations. We were excited, but we didn’t show it. We have to give 100 per cent effort, whatever we want. The way we have played as a team in the last two games is the way we have to go. This should be kept constant. Whatever comes to his hands, comes to an end.

Mohammad Haris praised

Babar heaped praise on Mohammad Haris. "Harry, the way you played is fantastic. Small things will give you confidence. When you finish the match, your confidence level will be different. We too went through this thing. We were also told by the seniors that after the match is over, the confidence level will increase. Then the next match you play is different because you have confidence. The bowlers too did great.
