NEW DELHI: Former Pakistan captain Misbah-ul-Haq has criticized the Pakistan team management following their narrow six-run defeat to India in the T20 World Cup match on Sunday. Despite a strong bowling performance that restricted India to just 119 runs, Pakistan's batting lineup failed to capitalize, jeopardizing their chances of progressing in the tournament.
Misbah pointed out critical errors in Pakistan's approach during the run chase, particularly the underutilization of middle-order batter Iftikhar Ahmed, who came in to bat at No. 7 despite being the lone specialist batter in the middle order.
