Shadab Khan, Pakistan's vice-captain, spoke out in support of batsman Fakhar Zaman on Monday in Dubai after fans criticized him for making a mistake in the final over of their Asia Cup match against India.

"In cricket, there are good days and terrible days; sometimes it's your day and sometimes it's not. We always try to put up our best effort as a team, "stated Khan in a tweet.

Cricket mai achay buray din aatay hein. Kabhi aap ka din hota hai kabhi nahi. As a team ham sab apni puri koshish kerte hein. @FakharZamanLive ka kal din nahi tha, agay woh match winner ho ga. Yeh hi hai cricket. Ham jeetay gein as a team, haare ge as a team.

 "Although yesterday wasn't Fakhar Zaman's day, he will go on to be a match-winner going forward. It's called cricket. Together, we will succeed and fail "added the all-arounder.

Due to Fakhar's poor fielding, India scored 181 runs in the final over and Pakistan lost eight runs as a result. Ravi Bishnoi hit two consecutive fours.

Despite the loss, Pakistan's all-around performance enabled them to defeat the Men in Blue by 5 wickets, with Mohammad Nawaz emerging as the winner after scoring 42 runs and grabbing a wicket.
