Where there is Pakistan, there will be drama. They must have caused a few heartbreaks, but as usual, they can heal the wounds as well as nobody else could. Pakistan has a rather cautious beginning to their innings after wisely electing bat on winning the toss. Cricket fans all over the world would have expected as aggressive approach from the openers especially from Ahmad Shahzad after what we have seen of him during the New Zealand series. I think the fact that Pakistan is being picked as the top horse dark by many experts and by some as favorites to win the title, Pakistan players seems to have come a bit under pressure.
All the Pakistan fans must have felt disappointed after that rather slow start and loss of two wickets in quick succession. If that was unexpected, the resurrection might have been surprising for many. That is Pakistan cricket in a nutshell. Pakistan should be happy about the fact that all their players found playing some degree of rule in this victory and that would boost confidence of overall team. The real satisfaction for them is the form-finding knock by Umar Akmal. Umar Akmal is the most accomplished batsmen today in the World. The unrest in Pakistan cricket probably has not helped his cause in the recent past after a grand entry into International cricket.
I think Umar should come in between Younis and Misbah so there is balance between aggression and stability. I believe Umar will emerge as the best batsmen in the World out of this tournament. The only thing I would like to change or for that matter Pakistan need to change from this game is the short balls from Shoib Akhtar. He bowled one short and was promptly dispatched to the boundary. He should not bowl more than three overs in one spell.
