Guys please remember these words and this thread.
This is beginning to and will continue to dominate limited overs cricket for the years to come.
Knowing what you have to do is so valuable that it can overcome a vast skill difference. I hope Pakistan fans are not too hard on the players. These are better players than their opponents but information assymetry is too much to fight against and you won't be the last team to find this out.
Until rule changes happen, as long as there isn't a huge difference in team strength (which in this case there is, but still) the chasing side will 2/3 of matches because knowing what you need to do is too valuable and cricket has advanced too much for pressure to undo that. Both sides feel pressure only one side knows what they have to score.
