1. Australia’s bowling is very strong, so 176 by Pakistan was a good score for a knockout match.
2. Hafeez’s terrible first and subsequently the over ( that cost 13 runs) shattered Babar’s confidence in him. So, he didn’t give him more overs.
3. I believe that Imad could have been given 4th over because he gave away only 5 runs in his 3rd over. That way Hassan’s one over could have been covered up.
4. Finally, Pakistan missed at least 3 easy run outs and one catch. Both Stoinis and Wade were clearly run outs and then Hassan Ali dropped Wade that ultimately cost the match.
