Hamza Mirza: "This is poor decision making from Lahore. Their best batsman of the tournament, Umar Akmal, should be at the crease right now. Instead they hold him back and expect him to make a 20 ball 50 every match." -- He's in now, but yeah. I often wonder too why Pakistan keep bringing him in at No. 6 when he seems so suited to No. 4.
