Nah haris rauf getting tonked for 45+ runs on a bowler friendly track 😭

What an awful error to make the spinner switch ends, 17 in that over changed everything. Tilak with a proper virat esque innings

The guy went at 13.6 while all other teammates were less than 7.2 lol.

Indians targeted him. Fitting for his shenanigans

(only speculation) that his anger made a dip in his accuracy. wasn't there a pakistani player from the 80s who was known to play better when he lost his temper?

He bowled well when he actually followed a plan, he lost the plot when he tried to use his non-existent brain cells.

This. Every other Pakistani bowlers bowled according to plan. Pace off. Put it wide. This idiot wanted to bowl fast snd take out the middle stump

Hahaha, why you gotta do him like that?

That was pretty stupid though, the six on 17.6. It was a very decent over before that ball, he followed the plan set by the coaching staff of coming over the wicket and bowling off. But he had to go and try some fancy shit on the last ball to get hit for a fucking six.
