Yuvraj Slams Pakistan's Tactics in Shock USA Defeat

Pakistan's Tactical Blunders Cost Them in Shock Defeat to USA

Former Indian cricketer Yuvraj Singh has criticized Pakistan's tactical shortcomings in their surprising defeat to T20 World Cup debutants USA. Pakistan, after setting a target of 160, failed to defend it, leading to a Super Over where they ultimately fell short.

Yuvraj questioned Pakistan's decision to exclude Fakhar Zaman from the strike during the crucial Super Over. "I don't understand why dint @FakharZamanLive take strike to a lefty seamer - when it is easier for a left hander to hit through the angle that bowler is tryin to create," Yuvraj posted on Twitter.

Yuvraj also praised the USA's smart decisions under pressure, particularly captain Monank Patel's leadership. He emphasized that Pakistan's upcoming match against India is now a must-win.

Pakistan captain Babar Azam expressed disappointment in his team's failure to capitalize during the powerplay and middle overs. "First 6 overs while batting we didn't capitalise. Back to back wickets always put you on the back foot, as a batter you need to step up and build partnerships. We were not up to the mark in the first 6 overs with the ball. Our spinners also did not take wickets in the middle overs so these things cost us," Babar stated after the loss.

Pakistan's next challenge is against arch-rivals India in a high-stakes T20 World Cup Group A match on Sunday in New York.
