Pakistan lost this match as they allowed Sri Lanka after having 5/58 to reach at the target of 170 in remaining overs specially after having their all top batsmen this was turning point here Babar Azam's captaincy was also tested, and he is big failure why Mohammad Nawaz not allowed to complete his four overs, and he was going with most expensive bowlers again and again because if they have done some positive things then surely they have to achieved target which was around 140 to 145 which was achievable and good for them in this final, but they give around 25 runs extra and this game as well.
After this bowling performance their batsmen were under pressure where they fail to give their best specially Iftikhar waste too many balls and have partnership with Mohammad Rizwan 80 balls and 87 runs this was second turning point for the Pakistan team which give them this lost now a long and good time for thinking about these mistakes.
There were many questions regarding Babar Azam capacity after the loss of final. Despite continuous failure Fakhar was not replaced. Khushdil was also not replaced by some other player. The way iftikhar played tells the story that he was playing for himself rather for team.
