In Tests we were not getting 300 + scores. In odi although its 2-2 still we struggled to get 197 plus South Africa showed the difference in abilities today. We are batting and fielding like a club level side. Asif is very ineffective with the old ball (proven by Boucher in SA) and on flat decks which is a big concern.
Our No.3 rated the second best in the line up averages 31 while the openers/young talent has been tried and tested and non one averages more than 25. The fastest man with the ball anyways is out of cricket and not sure whats he gonna produce

Poor performance today by pakistan they didnt have the intensity in the field and what the heck man yasir hameed took 30 balls to make 10 thats way to long mate

I'm not worried to be honest. SA are a damn good side and to beat them three times in a row would have been a sensational accomplishment. I look forward to the final on Monday!

As for today..

The biggest blunder we made was batting first! We have hardly won a toss in this series and we finally do and we go and screw it up. There was a late start and therefore there was always going to be the possibility of dew later on. In such a scenario you should ALWAYS bowl first. Even if we had scored 300 we would have struggled to win this game. We needed more like 350.

The other blunder was opening with Afridi. He should only open if we are chasing a small target (up to 220).

Asif has bee getting hit hard in ODI since the afro asia cup.
