#3 Not capitalising on Zaman's wicket
That India let Fakhar Zaman race to a run a ball hundred is in itself a crime but what was even more appalling was the manner in which they allowed the likes of Mohammad Hafeez and Imad Wasim to dominate the death overs. Kedar Jadhav broke through with Babar Azam's wicket but he is no death bowler and giving him an extra over wasn't warranted.
The bowling was scrappy and the experienced Hafeez kept the scoreboard ticking at a rapid pace. With the onus on Pakistan to score big after the platform they had set, India should have tried to tighten the noose with new batsmen at the crease. But Hafeez and Wasim never backed down and took Pakistan to a pretty handy total.
