We still can't seem to handle the pressure of being in a winning situation. Tamim for all his big talk about always playing his natural game became circumspect when he actually could have pushed WI on the backfoot. If the target had been 450, i am sure he would played differently. Our batsman play well when we are thought to be down and out and when people have zero expectation. Even within a single innings if we are out of the game due to loss of early wkts, we then start to bat well and once a partnership builds and a glimmer of hope shows up we start losing wkts again. This has been our story for a decade now.
