Head coach Misbah-ul-Haq was under immense criticism on social media after he sent Iftikhar Ahmed and Khushdil Shah to bat in Super Over.
Pakistan vs Zimbabwe – third ODI became a nail-biter following skipper Babar Azam’s departure for run-a-ball 125 leaving his team 13 runs behind in the last over. Musa Khan’s two boundaries rescued Pakistan from defeat and the match entered a one-over eliminator.
People saw a decision against their expectations when out-of-form Iftikhar came out to bat with debutant Khushdil. Iftikhar was caught on the very first ball whereas Khushdil scored a run before falling to Blessing Muzarabani.
Here’s how people reacted to Misbah’s decision
#superover This man surely has two sides sending Khushdil and Chacha Iftikhar in the #superover was ridiculous Decision by him it’s not just a loss it’s humiliation #PAKvZIM pic.twitter.com/uf726zClZn

This is defensive approach from misbah.First he went with the old players to play the series against low level teams instead of trying top domestic performers. Now with the wrong strategy and planning we lost the match. This is very heartbreaking. #superover
