Pak captain said after losing the series at home

After 17 years, England won the bilateral series in Pakistan.  Moeen Ali‍‍`s team won 4-3 after Babar Azam‍‍`s disappointment in a competitive series.  The series was tied at 3-3 before this match.
That is why the Sunday (October 2) night match at the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore was an important match to decide the series.
And it was in such a match that England‍‍`s batsmen shined with the bat.  The English scored 209 runs for just 3 wickets.  David Malan played an unbeaten innings of 78 runs off 47 balls.
And Pakistan‍‍`s middle order and tailenders failed to meet the huge target of T20 format.  This time the pair of opener Babar-Rizwan also failed.  This pair only 5 runs!

As a result, Pakistan lost the trophy by a big margin of 67 runs.
After this defeat, the Pakistan captain realized that more work needs to be done on the middle order batting.
In the press conference after the match, Babar Azam said, "We need to work more on the middle order.  Middle-order pressure also falls on us (openers).  We are talking about this with the coaches, we will talk about it.  Actually this series was important for us.  We need to improve in the T20 edition.‍‍`
Despite concerns about the middle order, Babar is happy with the team‍‍`s bowling.  He is especially excited about Haris Rauf‍‍`s performance.
Babar said, ‍‍`Our bowling attack is good.  Harris is bowling well.  He is improving every day.‍‍`
