Salman Agha Defends Bowling First vs India, Blames Loss on 'Execution'

  • Pakistan captain Salman Agha defended his decision to bowl first against India in the T20 World Cup, despite a 61-run loss.
  • Agha cited the 'tacky' pitch and turn available, but blamed the defeat on a lack of 'execution' from his team's spinners.
  • India scored 175/7, with Pakistan using a record six spinners who conceded 141 runs from 18 overs.
  • Ishan Kishan's 77 off 40 balls anchored India's innings, while Hardik Pandya and Jasprit Bumrah dismantled Pakistan's chase.
  • Pakistan collapsed to 114 all out, and Agha emphasized the need to win against Namibia to qualify for the Super-Eight stage.
