Former Pakistan player and current Afghanistan team bowling coach Umar Gul expressed his thoughts on India versus Pakistan clash and said that the Men in Green scored 20-25 runs less and batters did not bat responsibly, as a result, they faced five-wicket defeat against their arch-rival.

Talking about the match between the arch-rivals, Umar Gul said, "Obviously you miss your leading and strike bowler but the way Naseem Shah gave a start with the ball. Got the breakthrough, given the kind of start. So, they definitely missed but I feel Pakistan scored 20-25 runs less. The batters did not bat responsibly as per the conditions. Some shot selections were not right. Had there been 20-25 runs more then things would have been different."
