The Indian bowlers were able to figure out Fakhar Zaman's problems with the short ball in general and his weakness against the ball on his rib cage in the Asia Cup and brilliantly squeezed his runs.

I am loving how they have bullied Finch and got him either bowled, low by constantly bowling inswingers aimed at off and middle without any mercy.

In contrast we have players i.e. batsmen and bowlers who cannot execute anything planned in the dressing room on the field.
 
Actually Pakistan pulled off a good plans against Sharma and Kaptaan in Asia cup 16 and CT17.
 
In this age, it's bare minimum I think. There's so much data and tools to interpret and analyze that data. Instead of giving credit to India, I would actually blame Finch. He can use the same data to counter the strategies. Fakhar actually worked it out during the NZ series in 2nd and 3rd ODIs
 
One can all do the planning given the tools available these days, it all depends on the players to execute perfectly on the given day,
 
Cant forget how they tamed Gayle everytime inspite him blasting same bowlers in IPL.Having Bowlers like Kuldeep and Bumrah also helps.
 
Dhoni's mindset was always about containing. Kohli's mindset is always about taking wickets. So bowlers react differently.
 
India is one of the most tactically sound teams in cricket. What they might lack in skill and ability they quite often cover in their tactical execution.

I remember how Afridi was set up with slow balls, bouncers and even occasional long wide balls that got him stumped.

Pakistan in contrast is purely a skill based team. They beat teams with passion which counts for most.

Pakistan are lions. India are more Hyenna like.

Imagine a combo of Kumars and Shankars and the Pakistani think tank.

A partnership of the Indian think tank and sher-dil Khans and Afridis could be the other end of the spectrum.
 
Rubbish superior tactics.

Superior tactics would mean playing Kuldeep in place of Jadeja.

Pakistan can't execute anything beyond their capacity or even within that as they do not have the capabilities to do so.

Simple problem or what not they just do not have a brain that can even make an easy decision.
