#2 – Caribbean power-less on slow pitches
One of the major reasons behind their success in the World T20 was an emphasis on targeting the fence without complicating the issue. However, the conditions were drastically different at UAE with the ball gripping and staying low which meant that the focus had to be shifted towards piercing the gaps.
Not ready to change their approach, West Indies’ top-order collapsed spectacularly to leave the rest of the batting lineup without any choice but to let the Pakistani bowlers dictate terms. With the scorecard reading 22/5, 19/3 and 17/3 in the three matches respectively, whatever willingness that finally crept into them soon subsided as it became too late to pull off any sort of rescue act.
