Especially, Fakhar performed exceptionally well and then Imam supported him quite well,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Yes, our middle-order wasn&#8217;t up to the mark and we need to work on that. But, overall we made our case stronger in front of them and won the series,&#8221; he added.<\/p>\n<p>Babar also explained why Sarfaraz was given a chance to make ODI come back after 15 months. &#8220;We needed a batter in middle-order as we lacked consistency. We thought to utilize Sarfaraz&#8217;s experience and wanted him to play for us to strengthen our middle-order,&#8221; he highlighted.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>READ:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/arysports.tv\/afridi-akhtar-raja-appreciate-national-team\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Afridi, Akhtar, Raja appreciate national team for series win over SA<\/a><\/strong><\/h4>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>CENTURION: National skipper Babar Azam was satisfied with the top-order&#8217;s performance and said there was a need for improvement in the middle-order.\u00a0 Speaking to reporters <a class=\"mh-excerpt-more\" href=\"https:\/\/sportinfo.pro\/?p=55217\" title=\"\u2018Top-order\u2019s performance is satisfactory, will work on middle-order\u2019 Babar\">[&#8230;]<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[1],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportinfo.pro\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/55217"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportinfo.pro\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportinfo.pro\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportinfo.pro\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportinfo.pro\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=55217"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/sportinfo.pro\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/55217\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":55219,"href":"https:\/\/sportinfo.pro\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/55217\/revisions\/55219"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportinfo.pro\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=55217"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportinfo.pro\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=55217"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportinfo.pro\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=55217"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
