DUBAI: Pakistan skipper Salman Agha on Wednesday admitted that his team’s middle-order remains a concern and said the batters will need to step up in upcoming matches, including the Super 4 clash against India in the Asia Cup.

Barring senior batter Fakhar Zaman (50 off 36 balls), Pakistan’s top-order failed once again. Mohammad Haris (18) and Shaheen Shah Afridi (29 not out off 14 balls) used the long handle to push them to 146 for nine. Their bowlers, however, ensured a 41-run win against a young UAE side in the final group league fixture.

“We got the job done but we still need to improve our batting in the middle order. That’s been a concern and something we need to work on. Apart from that, we did a good job,” Agha said at the post-match presentation.
