3 tactical changes Pakistan can make to defeat India in Super 4 clash

#2 Add more firepower to the Spin bowling department

Pakistan needs to strengthen their spin bowling department

On pitches which are conducive to spin bowling, Pakistan went in with just one specialist spinner in the form of Shadab Khan. This tactic backfired as the sameness of Pakistani bowling proved detrimental to their efforts to defeat India.

Performance of spinners in the tournament so far has proved that they are a must to win matches on these kinds of wickets. Pakistan would like to make amends and add an extra spinner to their attack against India in the super 4 clash.

#3 Avoid over-confidence

Pakistan should avoid over-confidence

It seems that the champions trophy final win and Virat Kohli's absence made Pakistan over-confident and they ended up being complacent. Indian batting's over-dependence on Kohli during the tour of England seems to have made Pakistan think that Indian batting would struggle in his absence, but, these are Asian conditions and all the Indian batsmen thrive on these kinds of pitches. Kohli's absence is not such a handicap in these conditions.

There appears to be a hangover from Pakistan's recent batting success in Zimbabwe. They need to understand that they can't read too much into their performance against Zimbabwe. It's a misnomer and playing quality bowling sides like India is a completely different cup of tea.
