when one brags and boost too much and under estimate his opponent – the result is in front of us
Pakistan Lost the semi-final of T-20 mainly due to the poor batting of our openers. If they had not failed in scoring agressively during the first 6 overs, the outcome could be different. The blame has to be put on irresponsible batting of Hafeez and his immeture captonship.
