Beyond embarassing..conceding close to 100 in the final 10 overs . no plans,no pressure and letting the game slip for the 2nd game in a row.

The bowlers are quality
But give up or just don't put effort when the situation becomes too easy
This will be a difficult target to chase— Bruh (@iamFenix18) December 7, 2022
