Shan Masood Pakistan Test Captain: The Pakistani team suffered a crushing defeat by 10 wickets in the second Test match against South Africa. With this, the Pakistani team has lost the series 2-0. Pakistan gave an easy target of 58 runs to Africa, which the African team chased easily. Captain Shan Masood played an innings of 145 runs for Pakistan in the match, but even his brilliant innings could not avert defeat. He had a partnership of 205 runs with Babar Azam. 

Flopped with ball and bat: Shan Masood

Pakistan Test team captain Shan Masood said that there have been a lot of positive things in this series. We performed very well in Centurion. But here we could not capitalize on the opportunities needed to win. Our start was not good with both bat and ball. While bowling, we gave away a lot of runs in the beginning. At the same time, we could not do well in batting. Although this was a good wicket for batting. It was a good surface, which surprised everyone. 

He said that we have to learn how to win in crucial moments. In the England series, we came back after falling behind repeatedly. You trust your players to learn and learn the hard way. There are many young cricketers who will come back stronger. I never look at individual achievements or milestones. You want whatever you do well to lead to victory, whether it is a good 30 or 150 or 200. 

Praised Babar Azam for opening

Shan Masood said that there was a good partnership with Babar Azam. We spent the whole day almost without losing a wicket. It was unfortunate that Babar got out on the shot which he plays really well. When we did not have Sam Ayub to open. Then Babar came forward and took the responsibility of opening. These are the things that make you happy. Many individuals in this team have some special qualities who have come forward when needed.
