    "editor1": "<p>Pakistan all-rounder Shoaib Malik is happy with his form in the ICC Men&#39;s T20 World Cup but wants to be more consistent in order to help his team. Malik was adjudged the &#39;Player of the Match&#39; for his unbeaten 54 off just 18 balls, propelling Pakistan to 189\/4 in 20 overs. His late blitzkrieg, laced with a four and six sixes, played a crucial hand in Pakistan&#39;s 72-run win over Scotland at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium on Sunday.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;Yes I&#39;m in good form but I want to see myself more consistent to help the team. Overall, I feel fit. It is going to be a big game and we have to give our best shot,&quot; said Malik in the post-match presentation ceremony.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Talking about what was the target in mind at Sharjah, Malik said, &quot;As we have seen in previous games if you don&#39;t lose early wickets you have a chance of putting a good total in the end. We were discussing in our dressing room to at least get 150 and not give too many wickets early on.&quot;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Speaking on adjustments made in batting at Sharjah as compared to other venues, Malik explained, &quot;If you are playing on a good strip, the goal is to take a couple of balls and then start playing your game. On these tracks, you take 6-8 balls and then start playing your game. The win is a big thing. You take all the confidence going deep in the tournament.&quot;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Also Read: <\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cricketnmore.com\/t20-cricket-world-cup\">T20 World Cup 2021<\/a><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Pakistan&#39;s next match in the tournament is the second semi-final against Australia in Dubai on Thursday. The 2009 champions enter the knock-out stages as the only unbeaten team from the Super 12 stage.<br \/>\r\n&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n",
