Pakistan although lost to India in the final of the Asia Cup didnt disappoint me throughout the tournament. Pakistan only lost to India throughout the tournament and that too thrice but they were good enough to beat strong teams like Sri Lanka and Bangladesh.
Our batting once again let us down after being in a commanding position when they were 114 for three at one stage. From then onwards they collapsed to 146 runs all out. All the Pakistani batsmen got out slogging and playing irresponsible shots as the pressure was put on them by the Indian spinners. Chasing 147 runs all Pakistani bowlers bowled well except Haris Rauf. In fact Haris Rauf 's bowling in the Final is what cost us the Final.
In the end what I would like to say is that Pakistan performed reasonably well throughout the tournament ending up as being runners up.
