"The pitch was slightly on the slower side" - Pakistan batter Saud Shakeel after 1st innings of 2025 Champions Trophy clash vs India

During the mid-innings break, Pakistan batter Saud Shakeel revealed that the pitch was slow and the ball did not come onto the bat that well. Reflecting on his knock and the mid-innings break, Shakeel said:

"I could have easily taken some more time there, it was not a good time to get out. Earlier, the ball wasn't coming onto the bat that nicely. Little bit of swing as well. As the spinners came, we made some runs there."

He added:

"The pitch was slightly on the slower side. We have to put up a fight there. If we take early wickets, we can put pressure on them. We have to strike early."
