Pakistan failing to capitalize on good starts in T20Is

[IAJ]

Firstly I am not talking about the match results. Pakistan may defend today’s total as well.

But for the third time in row Pakistan have failed to get close to 170 after very good starts.

Yes the wicket get’s slow and with the soft ball it get’s harder to hit, but why are all the batsmen trying to hit sixes? Why not also try to time the ball and look for a boundary? We have probably only block or hit players in Asif, Faheem, Imad etc. Where are things going wrong?

Not a lot of depth, and we think a slogger is key to our middle order in Ali.

Your captain needs to take responsibility for a young squad to up the RR

Problem is the likes of Malik and Hafeez take their time, consolidate and only start hitting out with 4-5 overs to spare leaving very little scope of Asif Ali and Faheem Ashraf to get their eye in. Asif Ali and Faheem Ashraf should be sent in with 10 overs to spare especially on UAE wickets.

Asif Ali isn't good.

Hafeez was good today, and this series, hasn't been selfish at all.

Ability to hit sixes is not synonymous with ability to score runs.

Hafeez and malik

Shoaib Malik always wastes two overs.
