Somebody check Nawaz' paypal

Babar is at fault too. Why would you save your last over for a spinner who went for 20 runs in same match? That was stupid move.

For me it was Ravi Ashwin! Man played the last ball with 1000 IQ

It's better to put your worst bowler last.
Imagine they're chasing 24 from the last 2 and you bowl the crap bowler first and they tonk him for 20. Now your good bowler is defending 4 runs and he can't do shit.
Contrast to bowling the good bowler first, the batsmen will definitely try to score more than 4 runs and maybe they'll get out, making the shit bowler have a worse batsmen at the crease and maybe now he won't leak so many!
I think this is broadly true for the whole innings, not withstanding fielding restriction (powerplay) specialists and specific batsmen match ups (spinner against a batsmen bad against spin). You'd prefer to bowl your best bowler in the 1st, 3rd, 5th, and 7th over.
The best case scenario is that your best 3 bowlers finish the job, taking 10 wickets lol. Then they never even get to look at your 2 worst bowlers!

Happened twice to Bhuvaneshwar in Asia Cup. Gave away 18-20 runs in second last over. Left 6 and 7 runs for Arshdeep to defend. Which he tried to defend brilliantly.

As an American trying to get into cricket, I have no idea what you just said but it sounded smart.

Let me try to explain in different way. If you are at exam and you are trying to score as much as possible. You see you have 5 minutes remaining with 5 questions 3 easy, 2 tough problems.
if you will start with trying to solve easy ones first then going for tough one. You will have better chances of scoring.
Or if you will try to solve tough ones first, then maybe due to time pressure you might make mistakes and have to re-do solutions midway. Scoring less because you couldn't do easy ones too because no time left for them.
Here same with bowling team, if they would send their less experienced bowlers first, they are giving batters chance to score much because this bowler might not perform well under pressure or batters can read them well.
But if you send your best bowler first batters will still try to hit him, but they would also feel the pressure and maybe make mistakes while trying to maximize runs and gets out.

Nawaz bowled the 13th over, where he got smashed...what I guess Babar was looking for was one his fast bowlers to take a wkt, preferably Kohli, and then reintroduce Nawaz as soon as that happened..since we didn't lose a wkt, Babar had little choice but to leave Nawaz with the last over.

Because India's specialist finisher DK Popa is not good against spin

For me it was the right decision. He was trying to shape the innings in Pakistan's favour before it reached the last over. He was hoping the fast bowlers could get wickets which didn't happen.

If this comment is a joke, then funny.
But Nawaz is no where at fault. It wasn't a mammoth score on his tab to defend. Then bowling in death and he didn't get battered by some tailenders, it was Virat Kohli. Bowling the 20th over as a spinner on a pacers' pitch wasn't meant to be. Babar fucked up, big time.
Haffaith t1_ithszde wrote
Neither of them fucked up. Babar felt, justifiably so, that if Virat bats 20 overs, he’ll win it for India. So I gotta get my best bowler in to get him out. He just got out batted by Virat. Nothing you can do other than go back in time and bat better

He bowled a waist high full toss and multiple wides it's definitely his fault
