[Match Summary Pak vs Afg] Chidambaram Stadium Chennai

Conclusion

Putting Pandya in his place, Shami took five wickets. We played Usama Mir instead of Shadab, whose line and length were even worse than Shadab’s. Besides line and length, he lacked the bowling finesse. Flippers, googlies, etc. were missing.

I was considering replacing Shadab. But if the replacement is like this, then what can we do? Both get dropped towards the end of the tournament. Don’t play Shadab in the next matches, nor Usama Mir, nor Nawaz. Use Iftikhar, Saud, and Agha Salman for 20 overs. They’ll do better. Babar can even try his hand at spin. The T20 team has been selected for ODI. All T20 players. Playing senior players can be fatal. Sarfraz and Malik are there. Both play spin very well.
