Khalid Latif at 3 killed the chase. I don't know why they don't make more use of Sarfraz at the top where he can pick singles right after the power play and keep the scoreboard ticking.
something definitely wrong with the weight machineWe continue to punch above our weight.
If only they could have seen sense and sent Sarfraz at number 3. Not complaining though, helps India.
Hey buddy...Khalid Latif at 3 killed the chase. I don't know why they don't make more use of Sarfraz at the top where he can pick singles right after the power play and keep the scoreboard ticking.
Or Malik either at three. The logic for latif I'd love to know.Khalid Latif at 3 killed the chase. I don't know why they don't make more use of Sarfraz at the top where he can pick singles right after the power play and keep the scoreboard ticking.
That's a staggering stat. Credit to the NZ death bowlers.No boundaries for the last 5 overs.
Latif was a bad call but Akmal has to take a fair share of blame. He played 4.1 overs for 24 chasing 181.Khalid Latif at 3 killed the chase. I don't know why they don't make more use of Sarfraz at the top where he can pick singles right after the power play and keep the scoreboard ticking.

It was always a big total against a gun bowling attack, but the fact they didn't get close after a gun knock from Sharjeel is frightening.
In a perfect world that should be game over for Shezhad, poison at the top unless he is playing Bangladesh.
No idea what to do with Umar after that either.
Sure Akmal played a poor knock. But what I am saying is, at 65/1 from 6 overs, Sarfraz could have managed 6 plus an over without risks. Khalid Latif hasn't played an international game in 4 years, to expect a guy like that to come in at that point and do that difficult job was the problem.Latif was a bad call but Akmal has to take a fair share of blame.

There are a lot of off field factors behind Akmal's issues. I know what you're referring to here but there's a series of actions that led to this stage. In short, the team management in the last few years are a bit more responsible because they destroyed his confidence and the media ridicule he gets is unacceptable. That conversation with Imran was a private one and should not have been released online.Serious question for the Pak fans here.. I think the attitude of Umar Akmal is disastrous for team morale. Why would you want a donna like that in the side? He is not even that good. Would it really hurt the team to play without him for 2 or 3 years till the bloke understands that nothing revolves around him?
