Former India batter Yuvraj Singh expressed strong criticism towards Team Pakistan for their lack of tactical acumen in their match against the USA, which led to a shocking defeat against the T20 World Cup debutants on Thursday. In this surprising turn of events, Pakistan, led by Babar Azam, batted first and posted a total of 159/7 in their allotted 20 overs. Despite their efforts, they could only restrict the USA to the same total, pushing the game into a Super Over.

In the Super Over, Pakistan was set a target of 19 runs to win. However, they fell short, failing to chase down the required runs within the six balls. This result marked a historic victory for the USA, who were playing against the 2009 champions for the first time ever. Yuvraj Singh's comments highlight the tactical errors and missed opportunities that contributed to Pakistan's unexpected loss, underlining the need for better strategic planning in crucial matches.

"I don't understand why didnt @FakharZamanLive take strike to a lefty seamer - when it is easier for a left hander to hit through the angle that bowler is tryin to create," wrote Yuvraj on X.

"Nonetheless have to give it #TeamUSA @usacricket for making smart decisions under pressure specially the captain Monank Patel. Now, Pakistan needs a must-win against India and they surely need to bat and field better!" wrote Yuvraj.
