What changes should Pakistan make for their Super 4 game against Sri Lanka on 14 September?

Happy with the changes except for Fakhar being dropped for Haris. Disappointing to see a proven match winner in Fakhar dropped. No one on this team has the ability to be as destructive as Fakhar can be on his day and we've often see him come up big in big moments like CT 17, helping Pak win tri-series vs Australia in 2018, his performance vs Australia in 2021 T20 semi's and I think Pakistan will come to regret this decision.

Haris is a great talent but lets not confuse the formats. He's been good in T20's but has been awful in ODI's and hasn't shown the necessary application for the format. Maybe that changes and who knows, maybe he pull off what Fakhar pulled in CT 17 as a huge surprise but Fakhar was in his mid 20's and had a great domestic record in List A. Mohammad Haris so far, does not and if he performs poorly and Fakhar replaces him again, now you have players in their mind knowing if they play poorly for a match or two, they will get dropped and removes all the ODI buildup that's occurred over the years of stabilizing the team and sticking with your guys.

Looking like a wash out

Worst team ever. The batting was terible and the solution is to make it even weaker?

We've ruined our campaign it is better to check more players before getting into more mess in the WC

Do we have a spin coach? Really could use one before the WC...

I remember when he had Saqlain with the team spinners were at least bowling better

this was his stats in 2022 when Saqlain was coaching..

22.3 was the strike rate and the average was 22.45.. economy is a always a bit high for leg spinners as they're wicket takers..

Pak team performance was bad in one game and all the knives are out. yes they did had a very bad day at work but still it was one bad game which was spread over two days not to forget this fact also. some of the changes made for the game vs SRL are forced ones due to injuries. as we need to announce the world cup squad soon it is better to try out some of the bench strength. Fakhar is our key player and has been going through a bad patch so a break from the game will help him to relax and refocus on the game so I do not see any harm in it. Well wish the team best of luck for the game and hope they do well!
