He said he was unhappy with umpires thats why he lost the match deliberately.
Though he has a history of doing politics even in National team. So yeah cant rule out that.
Still losing the match deliberately like that was embrassing even if he had genuine concerns. You dont give up even if you were wronged.

To be in the team, you have to be able to justify through performance before you are even considered for captaincy. Both Sarfaraz and Malik fail that test.

Sarfaraz was obviously an upgrade over Azhar but we should have realized his lack tactics and shouting can only work in long term due to individual performances. Winning like that regularly as a team would always have been a difficult task.
Take a look at the best captains in the history of cricket Clive Loyd, Imran, Ponting, Dhoni etc. Were they shouting at their players every second ball. Even the teenagers are not spared by Sarfaraz.

Good captaincy to bring on Shaheen on to get a breakthrough
Yeah, good to continue with him, when saifi would have removed him. Or may have asked him to change his length to save runs

Way too late....
Ridiculous to bring Shadab in before Imad or even Hafeez...
Steyn wasn’t economical either in the first 20 overs of Pakistan’s innings so I don’t buy that argument about bowlers not bowling to the field...
It was always a pace off of the ball wicket.

Perhaps he thought they would make an error going after him- turned out bad.

One dimensional, passive with no urgency. Just like the dark Misbah days.

I just find it incredible that he opened the bowling today..
It came from nowhere and disrupted our usual pattern of bowling...
His captaincy was poor in the last ODI too... bowling Shadab ahead of Imad etc etc...

Tame captaincy - reactive and not proactive.

Malik isn't captaincy material for a Pakistani team, he'd be a good captain for England lol where there is alot more clarity on discipline and team roles and the captain can be more aloof and less in your face. Pakistani players need an aggressive captain who kicks them up the backside when they make mistakes, otherwise complacency sets in.
I also get the feeling that Malik is just doing this job out of courtesy to pcb, his hearts not really in, seems disinterested, however that isn't an excuse for not even bothering to set attacking fields.

He doesn't seem interested in the role.
He shouldn't be in the team let alone as a Captain.

Hilarious posts in this thread. I really had a good laugh lol.
In their hate of Sarfraz, posters were too quick to praise Malik after just one match.

Shoaib Malik after losing 2 matches:
"It's not about winning the series"
This is even funnier than the posts in this thread lmao

I mean if Sarfraz's competition is Malik, its not hard to come out on top.
Malik looks like he has been forced the captaincy because they wanted to rest Sarfraz and wanted an experienced campaigner.
He doesn't look at all cut for it.

He said around 2 years ago that he has no desire to lead any team any more but PSL teams and PCB don't seem to have gotten the memo.

Malik literally is the definition of a 'stand in' captain. If the performances go to the dogs, he'll say I'm just a stand in or we're trying out bench strength, that's why we've been so poor. The guy, even in the match he won as captain against South Africa, looked totally disinterested.
I also think that bench strength comment he made yesterday was what the management dictated to him to say if the opportunity arose, doesn't seem like something Malik would voluntarily say based on his past interviews.
