Rawalpindi [Pakistan], Following his team's seven-wicket defeat to New Zealand in the third T20I in Rawalpindi, Pakistan head coach Azhar Mahmood said the Green team players were "15 to 20 runs short" in the game, post-match. Speaking on Sunday, Mahmood said they had a very good start to the game, with 54 runs on the scoreboard in the first six overs and Shadab Khan's innings of 41 was "excellent", adding, "We were 15 to 20 runs short. We had a lot of "Good start." Our score in the first SI over was 54, which is very good. In the end, Shadab's innings was excellent. Between overs seven and 10 we were slow and then between overs 11 and 15 we slowed down when we were holding the ball," ESPNcricinfo quoted Mahmood as saying, adding that they would have to "learn" from the defeat and improve in the upcoming matches."These are things we have to learn to improve on but you have to give credit to the way Chapman played. In T20 cricket, if one guy stands up, he can take the game away from you," he said while recalling the match.
