What were the main reasons behind India’s defeat against Pakistan?

“Mauka Mauka Mauka Mauka” This was quoted as an advertisement conceiving Pakistan’s never ending defeat streak against Indian side in the ICC World Cup matches. Well we all know everything has an end, the defeat monkey appended to the back of the Pakistani team since 1992 has finally jumped off in the valley. This is the first time they defeated India in any world cup match and DAMN! What an amazing way to claim its first win by a huge margin of 10 wickets.

Apart from having experience and exposure of the Dubai Ground while playing in the IPLs Indian team didn’t looked that stronger there were tiny loop holes that somehow strangled the unit in performing accurately. The spark we usually see in the Indian squad was missing this time. Punters might as well had the toughest night they probably have chosen India in Online Cricket Betting.

Let us discuss some of the main reasons responsible for the Indian side defeat-

1. Flop Top Order – Top order is the most dependent aspect of any batting team we already saw the huge difference between top batting orders of both the teams in the match, the Indian side was struggling for connecting even a single ball, whilst the Pakistani top order basically the openers thrashed the opponents bowling attack completely and single handedly led the team towards victory. There were huge expectations from the Indian openers as both of them were looking in great form, but they didn’t had answers of tough questions asked from young gun Shaheen Afridi.
2. Finish – Batsman like Ravindra Jadeja and Hardik Pandya were expected to finish the game for Indian side, however the expectations didn’t turned into reality they both were totally flushed out against the Pak bowling attack. There were chances that India might have won the match if these two power hitters ended the match in the desired way for the team.
3. Limited Bowling Options – Many people might not notice it but this is a very major reason in our defeat, we only had limited five bowlers for the 20 overs at least one additional bowling option was required maybe it could be Hardik Pandya but he was not looking fit. Indian side should really concern of this thing and add one additional bowling option in the playing 11. There should be more and more options available to choose at the right time like the kabaddi betting sites provide for punters.
4. Poor Spin attack – the spin attacked lacked rhythm and failed in projecting their trajectories, they simply couldn’t buy a wicket for the team and failed in building pressure for the batsman, both Babar and Rizwan looked comfortable against the spin bowling attack.

MS Dhoni once said “If not today, Pakistan will one day win a World Cup match against India” and the day finally came. Now the team needs a good start don’t forget the tournament has just begun, we all know what the Indian side capable is of. By learning from the mistakes we can roar back again and who knows we might can meet Pakistan in the finals?
