Mindset and strategy needs to be changed as soon the flavor of the surface is exposed.
First, try luck to win the toss to bat second to chase and we will win.
If not come with a set script that we will cautiously make 250+ and our bowling unit can take care of it. We will never try 300+ against quality pace, we save it only for Zim, this nineties era ODI mindset will not work anymore. Most of the times we pay the price that way. This was not a Asia cup pitch that we can hold on to even mighty Ind till the last ball with a tiny total.
None of those seniors are big hitters. Tamim was once but he changed his game which actually helped because he opens. But could not develop a dependable big hitter like Pre-Siddons Aftab or Post-Siddons Nasir rather spent all our resources developing neither talented nor skillful complete packages.
