Rate was ok, wickets in hand always the problem. Dilemma of this intricate game.

Not at all bro.

Its only when quick scoring is possible from slogging when its dillemma.

When runs keep flowing no matter what, then batsmen should be conscious about not losing their wickets and let the game play out where they will get the bad balls which will go for 4s.

India made the same mistake in 5th ODI against Saffers. Runs were flowing but with Kohli being in a weird zone and some poor batting, we couldn't carry on the fight.
 
I don't get it. The RR was never over 7.5 at any point yet they were trying to hit every ball to the boundary. Calculated risks should have been taken
 
If we score at run a ball till the 40th over?? We need like 70 of 60 balls in the last 10.
 
Malik should have stayed longer, but that was a good catch. Also, I think Sarf just got a bit slow, which put extra pressure on Malik.

But, these are matches which tests character - 52@150+ is great, but he failed to end the game, which should be the target for no 5.
 
These 2 should continue till next 10 overs... if we want to get any closer to the total.
 
By the way, this is where the crappy tail kills you.

England's tail enders actually could run this down. Remember the epic chases vs. NZ?

But we're essentially 7 tickets down, because Irfan can't do anything, and Anwar Ali and Wahab are sloggers.
 
What the hell is wrong with our batsmen? Is power hitting a necessity in every over?
 
Time for Anwar to showcase his true potential as an allrounder, he won't get a better opportunity than this to form a formidable partnership with Sarfraz and get his team over the line.
 
Just get 6 singles and consolidate till the last 10? Why are we batting like there are no overs left after this.
 
Will be forever indebted to Sarfi if he manages to pull this off
 
110 runs in 15.0 overs is get able, but these 2 should play will 45th over.

Exactly, the naivety of our players showed tonight. They see a huge total and think we have to slog. No, just keep in touch with the run chase and ensure you're in a position to win in the final 10 overs.

We've gifted nearly all our wickets away.

I can't prove, but tail never wins this type of match - put eng at same position, the Moeens & Joshes & Adils 'll choke.

I put it other way - today's match - drop Anwar & play Gohar, even drop Ahmed & play a 3rd pacer - PAK could have restricted ENG to 320, the tail won't have required.

The fundamentals of the game hast changed much - partnership, wickets, death bowling & keeping pressure with aggressive fielding - check how many boxes WY or Azhar ticked today. On absolute belters, you need just 2 players to click - 40 & 50s 'like not work with 11 of them.
 
No need for that. Sarf didnt have common sense to take it to the end knowing hes the last bat?
 
This chase just proves how brainless we are. Seriously no wonder we deserve no. 10 in odi rankings.
 
Should have taken 1 on that ball

I honestly feel like im gonna kill someone. The number of times our batsmen have got out after hitting a boundary. Seriously is no one sensible enough to take it to the end.
 
This is just ridiculous, why are they going for the big shots every ball? Runrate was manageable but lack of brain cells proved to be the demise for most of these Pakistani batsmen.
 
Bizarre really. I suppose our batsmen have never been in this situation before so they didn't know how to go about it. You're chasing 355, not 1000. You don't need to go for broke.
 
Can someone really teach these idiots we have 15 more overs to bat. Like are we seriously that dumb that we have only 2,gears block and blast?
 
Anwar Ali did win us the T20 and Wahab can hit the odd 50 or two. Even Yasir is a decent bat.
