Losing by a small margin will be a win – Shoaib Akhtar
Shoaib Akhtar said that the best results for the United Arab Emirates would be to avoid a heavy defeat. Misbah-ul-Haq mentioned that the UAE had some batting depth after its three-series performance, but Akhtar rejected the possibility of harassing.
He said that a narrow disadvantage would also be counted as a moral victory for the United Arab Emirates. Akhtar further said that teams should fight very hard to keep the minimum matches competitive.
“Look, we know they are going to lose. I think losing by a small margin will be a win for the UAE. It is my complaint against Hong Kong, who lost to Afghanistan by 94 runs last evening. You had to lose at least, so that you get something. Show something.”
