I'll only talk about Pakistan in the OP.
Positives
1) Farhan played decently well and is a decent opener. He isn't world class or anything but idI'd prefer it if he were to replace Abdullah Shafique in all formats atleast.
2) Fakhar once again proving that he is Pakistan's best batsmen regardless of formats.
3) The bowling clicked excluding Rauf and the tailenders typically pull their weight from a batting stand point.
4) Agha as a captain utilises his bowlers well far better then babar and rizwan logically could.
5) Pakistan went unbeaten excluding India and gave India a minor fright in the final as well. Not easy to do given how difficult it is to beat the world's best t20 side especially on slow spin surfaces.
6) Shaheen and Faheem were the MVP's of the tournament.
Negatives
1) Pakistan didn't beat any side convincingly and struggled from all fronts.
2) Barring the openers the batting was atrocious. Saim, Haris, Agha, Talat are an embrassment to watch.
3) While Agha is good from a bowling standpoint he + Hesson's squad selections dont make much sense. While Hasan Nawaz wasn't performing what was the purpose of Talat who can't hit a boundary for the life of him to feature in the squad let alone play in the final 11?
4) No one in the squad really showcased that they were ushering in a so called New era. The trend was still the same during Ba/Riz era aka babar and rizwan, provide us a slow but steady start followed by a horrible collapse in the middle and lower order.
To top it off the middle order actually feels worse off then it was during Ba/Riz era primarily due to fakhar being promoted to opening and not at no 4.
5) While fakhar was the best batsmen, as an opener he showed no improvements as a batter over no 4 position. It seemed like he batted equally well at both positions hence promoting him clearly crippled the middle order.
6) Rauf and saim are a tragedy and a comedy. Nuff said. Its time to end this Saim Ayub nonsense.
