Quetta Gladiators’ loss on Naseem’s birthday, Sarfraz hopes to turn around

On October 15, Nasim Shah turned 20 years old. But in the meantime, Pakistani cricketers have identified their race in Pakistan Cricket. After handling the busyness of the national team, he is also a regular face in franchise cricket. Usually, his birthday was supposed to be a bit of fun. But his squad Quetta Gladiators tasted defeat in the PSL on his birthday celebration.

His teammates cut Naseem’s birthday cake. They brought a cake to the hotel and ate it; everyone smeared it on their cheeks. A festive atmosphere was created during this time. Quetta has released pictures and videos of the players. However, they had to face defeat on a happy day. Naseem’s team Quetta Gladiators lost their first match against Multan Sultans by nine wickets.

However, Quetta captain Sarfraz Ahmed said they wanted to start the tournament with a win. But because they could not implement the plan in the field, they could not achieve the expected results. Sarfraz said, “We wanted to start well. But we couldn’t do that. So, unfortunately, we couldn’t execute our plans. That’s why we lost.”

But despite starting the journey with defeat, Sarfraz is not broken. With his faith in the team, Quetta will come back stronger. He also talked about their weakness and improvement. Sarfraz added, “I am sure we will come back very well. But we need to improve our bowling pace. We need to bowl in the right places. Then we will do well.”

Although Nasim did well with the ball on his birthday, he spent only six runs by bowling two overs. But this young pacer did not get any wickets. Nasim is one of the pace bowling backbones of Quetta this season. He has a big responsibility on his shoulders. To cope with the pressure of that expectation, he will want to match himself. The impression of which was seen in the first match. Maybe he will enjoy the same in the next game. Quetta Gladiators wish to return to the winning streak in the next game. In that case, Nasim can be the trump card of the team.
