India (174/4) secure a 6-wicket victory over Pakistan (171/5) in the Super Four clash of the Asia Cup 2025

Must say Pakistan's think tank continues to blow me away. They really looked at Talat and thought it was worth having this useless player over a match winner caliber player in Hassan Nawaz.

His career SR in T20's, including domestic matches is 125. Has little to no ability to hit sixes.
Only reason I can think of is they may view Hussain Talat as more able to rotate strike, whereas Hasan Nawaz's hitting ability is negated by these big Dubai boundaries and slow pitch.

But yeah we figured out Hussain Talat wasn't a T20 batsman in 2018. Not sure why we recalled him. Even in PSL his SR is 123 !
 
These are the overs Pakistan should have plundered instead they have let Dube bowl two overs for next to nothing.
They have lost the plot. Accelerator pedal should have been firmly under the foot considering the start they had and only 2 wickets down.

May be they are waiting until 15th over. A big gamble.

I guess they had that plan but execution was flawed depending on Talat to get the big hits. Nawaz or Haris might have been better options to hit Dube. Now against the spinners both Nawaz and haris will struggle.
 
Sidhi shot lag hi nahi rahi aur yeh reverse ke chakkron mein padha hai.
