"We started well. We just planned to play normal cricket and build partnerships. Suddenly, there was a collapse, and we could not finish well. The way we started, our target was 280-290, but the collapse cost us. The total was not good," Babar said.

Babar also credited Rohit for his glorious knock. "We are not up to the mark with the new ball. Rohit played an outstanding innings. We just tried to take wickets,
but that didn't happen," he signed off.
