We didn&#39;t want to be in a similar situation like we were against Zimbabwe. All the coaches and players have been very supportive to try and fix that,&quot; said Shehzad at the post-match presentation ceremony.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size:14px;\"><span style=\"font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\">The 23-year-old also praised the knocks from Haris Sohail and Misbah-ul-Haq which helped Pakistan post 339\/6.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size:14px;\"><span style=\"font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\">&quot;The way Misbah and Haris batted to help us get momentum will be useful against South Africa. We need to stand up as a team and play as well as we did today,&quot; added Shehzad.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n",
