Pakistan's team has only one weakness. They depend on certain players. Especially if Babar Azam, Fakhar Zaman, and Rizwan are not able to bat well then it will be very difficult for the Pakistan team to win the match.
Rizwan played well in today's match but Babar Azam scored only 5 runs and Fakhar Zaman returned to the dressing room without scoring any runs. If Fakhar and Babar batted well, Pakistan could have won easily even after batting at a target of 170 runs. Pakistan needs to reduce its dependence on these three players. Otherwise, they will not be able to perform well in the next World Cup.

After watching this final match if someone still insisting Pakistan is quality team then surely I have feeling he needs to be rethought about this because they have never been quality team they never play with planning or better strategy mostly they have just few tasks after achieving them they are benched of crap players which are not able to give their best in big matches today their fields were completely crap and bowling were also out of order with Babar Azam's few decisions I was feeling they are playing to give this trophy to Sri Lanka as they were not in game for win.

They dropped many good players at home just for few players those were in with their personal links not with their ability of game which is surely talk able but no one want to talk about this because there is no merit all things are working on relationship or personal likes and dislikes which is the biggest issue in this board many were feeling with the arrival of Ramiz Raja things could be changed but nothing positive happening all in dark age.

I just cannot still believe that Pakistan lost the match. and they did not just lose the match. Sri Lanka won the match quite convincingly. I have to send Sri Lanka played really well and they had a really good game plan going into this final. They got a good amount of France towards the end of the first innings and when Pakistan was getting a really good run rate in the second innings they realized that they need to bowl slower. And that's when Pakistan started to fall behind the run rate

Pakistan has won all the matches in this Asia cup without Babar and Fakhar scoring any significant runs. Only Rizwan was a consistent performer in the top 3 batsmen. Yes, I agree there are only two or three batsmen who were performing but since we were on a winning roll, we overlooked our weakness.

I believe that the problem was the top order of Pakistan not being able to get enough runs. There was a big expectation from Babar. But he failed. The batting of Pakistan was an area of concern for them from the whole tournament in my opinion.
