00:00 After memes surfaced on the social media largely from Pakistani fans depicting that India
00:13 deliberately batted badly against Sri Lanka so that Pakistan could get knocked out of
00:19 the Asia Cup, Shooi Bakhtar lashed out at the rumour mongers, terming their claims as
00:25 "nonsense".
00:27 Speaking on his official YouTube channel, former Pakistan baser Afzal voiced his displeasure,
00:34 saying that Sri Lankans produced a remarkable bowling effort.
00:38 "I'm receiving messages that India have fixed the game.
00:42 They are playing badly so that Pakistan get knocked out.
00:46 Are you guys out of your minds?
00:48 They are bowling their hearts out.
00:50 Villilich has bowled really well.
00:53 He also scored 43.
00:54 Suddenly, I'm receiving phone calls that India are losing so that Pakistan can get
01:00 eliminated.
01:01 Man, why would they lose?
01:03 They could have reached the final with win and they did.
01:06 Absolutely nonsense," said Akhtar.
01:10 Akhtar lavished praise on Indian bowlers and lauded them for their efforts in defending
01:16 a low score.
01:17 "Great fight back from India.
01:19 Kuldeep is an asset.
01:21 Look at Jaspreet Bumrah.
01:23 Look at the fight while defending such a small total."
01:26 Akhtar also pointed out that Pakistani players lacked the fighting spirit whereas Sri Lanka
01:32 put in a great fight.
01:33 "Villilich, 20-year-old kid.
01:36 He's bowling and batting as well.
01:38 There's a fight there.
01:40 I didn't see this fight in our players.
01:42 See, you can't blame our fast bowlers.
01:45 They didn't play regular ODIs and then you expect Harris, Naseem, Shaheen to bowl 10
01:52 overs and not get injured.
01:54 All I want is a fight from Asia Cup to at least chase 300 runs, reach at least 275.
02:03 You gave up too soon.
02:05 This was humiliating," said the former speedster.
02:09 Indian bowlers dished out our splendid collective efforts to carry their team to a 41-run win
02:16 over Sri Lanka in a Super 4 match and into the Asia Cup final.
02:21 Rohit Sharma's 53 of 48 balls was the cornerstone of India's subpar 213 after Lankan spinners
02:30 Dhanet Villilich 5 of 40 and Asa Lanka 4 of 18 bamboozled them.
