The issue is not that Pakistan is playing poorly , it is that the skill set they have is not good enough for Top tier teams. The skill set is what is missing. mental strength is part of that. The batsmen simply lack the skills of rotation of strike , and risk free milking of bowling in middle overs. They try to get away by playing big shots. Do not have the power to clear as well , and result is sub par scores, which oppositions chase easily.
 
Guys please relax, we are still winning this! I think it is obvious that the ball is not coming on to the bat later in the innings. It will be difficult for the Indians to bat in their innings and our spinners should choke them. The pitch does not seem to be easy to play on and that explains the mistimed shots. Watch the Indians also struggle in their innings.

The team did not respect the conditions, opposition bowlers. After losing a few wickets there should have been an emphasis of playing out the overs.
 
Seems at 113-1 we cannot believe our strong postion and decide to correct to the default setting
 
I think entire pakistan team is sharing one brain lol This has to be off the charts brainless batting. Haris Rauf doesn't have common sense that he is no.10 batsman with a player in form at other end

Whenever we bat there are supposedly some demons in this pitch.
 
Pakistan need to rethink their batting strategy.

Every single game Pakistan won in this tournament was due to bowling. Batting didn't click.
 
From 113 . 1 to 134 / 8

Is this a batting performance of a top tier team. From last game against India they learned absolutely nothing. When you feel happy by winning against teams like UAE and Oman , that shows where your mind set is.
 
Senseless batting if you don’t have the skills to hit out just milk for singles and doubles and the odd boundary was all needed , each and every batter came and tried to hit big six that’s just insane stuff.
 
Even by our standards, this is a disgraceful collapse.

These dopes had the perfect platform.

Agha just a specialist captain in this format. Talat a waste of space. Saim and Haris barely a brain cell to rub together. Faheem never delivers when it matters.

Will be lucky to cross 150 here.
 
our brainless useless batsmen should better know their own capabilities -- Once they started losing wickets to stupid shots, they should have just aimed to play 20 overs .

Abhishek will kill the game in the first few overs. Also with respect to the ball not coming on to the bat, the batters should have realized and changed their game plans rather than slogging.

Mohd Amir in an earlier interview mentioned given his experience in the ILT20, in UAE you have to go hard in the first ten overs because it becomes difficult to hit in the last ten as the wickets slow down significantly. Why has the team management not adapted to these conditions by now?
 
An all time legendary collapse from Pakistan but honestly, it's very on brand for this batting lineup. They have stayed consistent in showing they're truly a really poor batting group who have no clue how to bat on slow pitches.

When your tail starts at 4 what can they do?
 
Terrible stuff from Pak middle order. You need Babar back in the middle order. These guys don't have the game the coach Hesson expects them to play.

It honestly just is. From being 113/1 in the 12th over to seeing nawaz declining singles in the 19th is just dishearteningly embarrassing.
