Pakistan's T20I bowling display in the first six overs is a matter of concern

Basically sets the scene for the rest of the innings and puts huge pressure for rest of 14 overs

 

[Nikhil_cric]

The matches are in the Highveldt. Those numbers wont be as bad at other venues.

 

[Line and Length]

Stupid captaincy and planning also leads to this. Nawaz could have easily been utilized for that 6th over, why give it to Hasan? He had conceded 14 runs in one over in the previous match bowling in the power play too. They don’t learn from their mistakes, Hasan bowls the 6th over again today, and concedes 17 runs. Ridiculous.

 

[YousafTheBeast]

If only we had a bowler that didn’t leak runs and picked up important wickets...

 

[Rana]

Shaheen needs to bowl out 3 overs with another bowler up front.

Pakistani management (Misbah) are clueless on how to create a strategy to tackle the death overs. They are trying to make Shaheen something that he just isnt, a specialist death overs bowler. He is much likely to take a wicket in his 3rd over of the innings (5th or 6th over) if he bowls 3 up front.

Harris Rauf should be the one who bowls his 4 overs (13, 15, 17 and 19) just like Pakistan trusted Umar Gul to do so and he was so successful as the specialist death bowler

 

[bujhee kom]

The bowlers have little control. However the conditions also have to be taken into context.

One sure hopes so but then are we playing the wrong combination for this pitch?

 

[MenInG]

Done well after that

[Kroll]

Club and street cricketer coming to the fore thereafter!

 

[Barragan]

Key point being Nawaz opening the bowling!

The management just not smart enough to realise Nawaz hasn't worked and should be used in the middle overs, with Faheem or Hassan opening the bowling.

Complete failure by the management and Babar's captaincy.

 

[MenInG]

Seems batting also an issue!

Today lowest powerplay score vs Zimbabwe - 26-1

Is the team missing Imad Wasim's skills in the first 6 overs?

 

[Bigboii]

Is the team missing Imad Wasim's skills in the first 6 overs?

But he is a one dimensnal player

We need players who we can see from every dimensions including sttelittes and UFO's

thus MW present Sharjeel "Mc fluffy" Khan

 

[YousafTheBeast]

Imagine picking up only 1 wicket in the first 10 overs against Zimbabwe B. Don’t think any bowler will be criticised, but imagine if Amir was playing. he’d be getting threats left right and centre.

 

[Major]

Pakistan has a strong death bowling. Haris rauf and hasan ali bowl really well at death

They arnt that good as starting bowlers. For that you need amir type or m. Irfan type bowlers.

Shaheen isnt a t20 bowler. They mught have to get imad waseem back

 

[IMMY69]

I'm concerned about Usman Qadir.
Bowls way too much filth in between some decent deliveries.

 

[Ozeirk]

Pakistan hasn't filled the gap left by Muhammad Amir.
