Pakistan's T20 group has leaned in on middle-overs control, pairing pace changes with wrist-spin to break partnerships before the death overs.
Shaheen Afridi has been used for short bursts at both ends of the innings, while the spin unit focuses on hard lengths into the pitch.
Batters have also been asked to clear the infield earlier against spin, reducing the pressure that often builds between overs 8 and 14.
Analysts believe the approach can travel well across different venues if fielding standards remain high under pressure.
