Ex-Pak skipper Malik accuses Imad of deliberately wasting balls against India

Salim Malik and Imad Wasim

Former skipper Salim Malik has accused Imad Wasim of deliberately wasting balls in Pakistan's six-run loss to arch-rivals India in the T20 World Cup in New York.

Chasing an underwhelming 120-run target, Pakistani batters consumed 59 dot balls to be restricted to 113 for 7 in New York on Sunday.

Wasim took 23 balls to score his 15 runs in the losing cause.

"You look at his [Wasim] innings, it appears as if he was wasting balls not scoring runs and making things difficult in the run-chase," Malik said on 24 News channel.
