If others were playing like Yunus and Misbah then we would have ended with score of 105 for 3 after 50 overs and losing for 155 runs. Would that have been better than what Pakistan did?

Actually, the biggest cause of Pakistan losing the match was batting of Yunus and Misbah, followed by Pakistan dropping catches (Yunus and Misbah each dropped catch of Tandulkar), and then followed by Pakistan not taking power play earlier when Shahid Afridi was playing as that may have reduced the pressure caused by test like slow batting of Yunus and Misbah.

In part that is true, Misbah’s failure to put pressure on fielding side by attacking put pressure on other batsmen and they holed out but responsibility also lies with carelessness of Hafeez and Kamran for reckless shots. Misbah probably thought that he could repeat T20 2007 final against India and turn around game in last 6-7 overs but just like that final he choked again.
