Need to bring him, Sharjeel, UA, Haris, Talat and Asif Ali back in the t20 team ASAP.

Only if the matches are played with similar boundary size to HKS6's

 

[Major]

Final overs are of 8 per ball and pakistan iften losses the final due to the final over being bowled by a lunatic. Better to use asif as opening bowler in final

nope.. no such rule this time.

simple rules 6 balls an over but yes, it was not wise to use him for the last over.

No u use weakest bowler in last over because if he was smashed for 36 in the first one imagine how rest of the innings would go
