\n<\/p>\n

Before and after every India-Pakistan cricket match, there is one certainty: a question on handshake.<\/p>\n

Before Sunday\u2019s Women\u2019s T20 World Cup game, Harmanpreet Kaur had faced that question, as did Deepti Sharma after India\u2019s comprehensive win.<\/p>\n

Pakistan\u2019s coach Wahab Riaz was also asked about the absence of handshakes. \u201cI don\u2019t know what the reason behind not shaking hands,\u201d he said. \u201cBut if things are going to be like this, let it go like that. It won\u2019t make a big difference.\u201d<\/p>\n

He admitted Pakistan could not make use of the opportunities that were available to his team.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe really went well in the PowerPlay but needed to score seven or eight runs an over for the next three or four overs without losing wickets,\u201d he said. Unfortunately, we lost five wickets in a row. In a T20 game, it is very difficult to make a comeback after that.\u201d<\/p>\n

He rued the bowlers\u2019 conceding too many runs to India in the last overs.<\/p>\n

\u201cGiving away runs in the last two overs cost us the game,\u201d Wahab said.<\/p>\n

\u201cRicha got the opportunity and she made the most of it. In T20 cricket, you have to win the powerplay and the last four overs. I think they are the most important phases of the game.\u201d<\/p>\n

The coach said there were positives still from the game. \u201cThe way they fought with the ball and the glimpses we showed with the bat,\u201d he said. \u201cWe just need to make less mistakes, believe in ourselves and play more positive cricket.\u201d<\/p>\n
