Pakistani players were "completely devastated" after their in the T20 World Cup semifinal but the dressing room was different in their opening match against arch-rivals India, batting consultant Matthew Hayden said.
Pakistan went into the semifinals with an all-win record but suffered a heart-breaking loss to the Australians whose batter Matthew Wade snatched a sensational victory by smashing three consecutive sixes in the penultimate over.
"The scenes in dressing room, it didn't shock me when you do play with your heart. Just how heart gets broken when you go into a match with expectations and it doesn't come off due to a number of different reasons," Hayden said in conversation with bowling coach Vernon Philander.
