We could have done several things better

*Fawad is not the person to play in final overs. We shud have scored more than 300.

*Handling the bowlers is really wayward by Afridi. With so many left handers, Hafeez would have been used more than Afridi.

*Akhtar shud have bowled at the end instead of Gul.

*Mohammad Irfan isnt good enough for an international.

Hindsight is greatest advisor. If Afridi can’t score, Abdul Razzaq has not been able to score at good SR, who would you play? Atleast Fawad scored with SR of 100+. It was Hafeez who kept the run rate lower, look at his SR a dismal 63.

Even Akhtar could’ve bowled faster but then flying edges could’ve earned them a boundary. It wasn’t really the last over that was problem.

Mohammad Irfan 's econ was 5.71, I don’t know how it is worse than Akhtar or Gul’s.

As for Afridi’s handling of bowlers, I wouldn’t defend him
