Pathetic batting order costing us.

Malik with 2 (8) and then Sarfraz and Fakhar both struggled. Then we promoted Tanvir over Shadab.

Cost us a good 20-30 runs and ultimately the game as well.

How about Babar Azam doesn't chew up 40 balls to score 40 odd runs.
 
Shehzad should, at the very least, be dropped from the T20I squad after this series.

He might work in ODIs/Tests but in T20Is we have Babar, Fakhar, and even Kamran who can open.

We need one man to anchor the innings and others to accelerate around him.

Babar is our anchor and should open. Are you seriously gonna complain about his 43 (38) where others scored 2 (8), 21 (21), etc?

What did Babar Azam do wrong today? Second highest scorer for us and that too at a decent strike rate.

That's not decent strike rate. Taking 38 balls to score 43 runs is not good by any stretch of the imagination specially when you had almost all of the powerplay at your disposal
 
No point keeping shadab till the death overs. Will only need a run a ball then. Need wickets for pressure
 
too expensive Hasan, Tanvir is stupid as well, would have liked to see Rumman/Shinwari today

Without him we would've folded in 16 overs for about a 100

That's unfortunately exactly what Misbah fans used to say.


Babar came in before those batsmen and had the powerplay at his disposal yet still scored at close to a 100 SR.

Someone has to be the scapegoat. Even if he's our best batsman. We are Pakistani fans after all
 
Can't wait for PP'ers to say Shadab's been found out just like they're after Imad.
 
Lewis hits another six against Shadab

Shadab has been poor today and Pak are in trouble
 
Even Warne got smacked around at times. Good learning curve for Shadab.
 
loool everyone is losing it today on PP. Chill guys, the Windies have come to play as well.

Shadab isn't going to disappear because he has the capability to spin the ball.

Imad is just a bland darter.

Imad bowled his first two overs for just 3 runs. Relax. He's been successful everywhere he's bowled. We were lucky to get Lewis run out in the first two matches because trust me, he's a darn good player.
 
Goes to show we were just riding on the back of Shadab. One bad game and we look listless.

Misbah did his rubbish in the middle-order, which is criminal.

An opener batting at an SR of around 115 in T20Is is fine as long as everyone around him can give it a whack.
 
Ball is reversing

Riaz can exploit the reverse, but know about Hassan and tanvir

Could have done with Sohail

Good with the new and old ball

Fitness wouldn't have been a problem in T20's either

Failed in PSL.

Failed in NZ.

Failed in AU.

The only good series he had was against England and that too with the bat.

Nope. SR of 115 is unacceptable for any batsman in T20s.
 
Hasan should be opening the bowling but instead he's bowling in the middle overs.

Tanvir should be smashing his head against the wall but instead he's playing for Pakistan.

Fakhar should be opening but instead he's batting at #6.

Babar should be opening but instead he's batting at #3.

Only fault I see in Azam's batting is the inability to up the ante when he gets set.
 
If I may add to my forecasts since I am in a roll today. Wahab will have a respectful spell today which will still not prevent a loss and he will come back for the 4th t20 going at 8-10 an over
