Pakistan's cricket captain Babar Azam addressed the team's batting shortcomings at the T20 World Cup and extended an apology to fans after failing to progress beyond the group stage.

Pakistan suffered a major upset in the tournament when they were defeated by the USA, a tier-two team, through a Super Over. This loss, followed by a defeat to archrival India, considerably dampened Pakistan's prospects of advancing.

India and the USA secured the two Super Eight spots from Group A, leaving Pakistan in third place following a hard-fought three-wicket victory against Ireland on Sunday.

"Thank you so much for your support, and we apologize for our performance," Babar commented after the match in Florida.

"I understand that the fans and the team are disheartened by this. It is not the fault of any single player. We all made mistakes."

Babar had previously resigned from his captaincy across all formats after Pakistan's disappointing performance at the 50-over World Cup in India last year. However, he was reappointed as the white-ball skipper for the T20 World Cup in the US and West Indies.

During the competition, reports of internal camp conflicts emerged, and the Chief of the Pakistan Cricket Board pledged significant changes to the team following their elimination last week.

Pakistan's batting was particularly disappointing, failing to capitalize on powerplay overs and unable to build crucial partnerships.

"The pitches here slightly favored fast bowlers, but overall our batting was not effective," Babar stated.

"We lost two critical matches even when we were in control."

All-rounder Imad Wasim mentioned that the team needs to completely overhaul their approach to white-ball cricket, with Babar concurring.

"Each player needs to rethink their approach because cricket has evolved. With contemporary cricket, you must have game awareness," he said.

"You know the strike rate here is low. It’s about game awareness and using common sense."
