I played my natural game against New Zealand, says http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Jamshed-c66276 – Cricket News Update
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/ICC-World-Cup-2011-c100625 World T20 2012 fixture against New Zealand at Pallekele, and followed his natural instincts.
Jamshed smashed a brilliant half-century against the Black Caps, scoring 56 runs off merely 35 deliveries, which included two boundaries and four huge sixes. The young left-hander’s knock helped Pakistan post a very competitive total of 177 runs on the board
for the loss of six wickets in their allotted 20 overs.
In their chase, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/New-Zealand-c754 could only manage 164 runs after losing nine wickets, falling short of the target by 14 runs. Jamshed was named as the Player of the Match for his stunning knock.
The left-hander from Lahore accumulated 76 runs with http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mohammad-Hafeez-c76898, the Pakistan captain, for the second-wicket partnership. Jamshed expressed after the match that he has immense understanding with the skipper and loves to bat alongside him.
"I really enjoyed batting with the captain, Hafeez," Jamshed said. "The kind of confidence I got from the captain, I want to have partnerships like the one I had with him today. I am the captain's choice and I am enjoying it here. He has given me a lot of
confidence."
The 22-year-old cricketer made his international debut in 2008 but was dropped from the Pakistan team a year later. He returned to the national side in 2012 during the Asia Cup in Bangladesh, impressing one and all with his ability to score at a brisk pace
without taking too much of a risk.
Nasir added that he is an aggressive player by nature and did not take any pressure during the game against the Kiwis, which turned out to be the key behind his success.
He mentioned, "I am a stroke player that is why I am playing shots like these. From when I started batting I was never scared of anything, whether it is opposition bowlers or pressure. I just try to handle the pressure and enjoy my game."
The Green Shirts will play their second match tomorrow at the same venue against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Bangladesh-c747.
